Selwyn Edge

Selwyn Francis Edge (born 29th March, 1868 in Sydney, Australia) was a British racing driver.

After a decorated career as a competitive road cyclist, Selwyn Edge became one of Britain's leading racing drivers in his late 20s and early 30s. His business links to Montague Napier and Adolphe Clément ensured a steady supply of high-quality racing cars throughout his career. In 1902, Selwyn Edge entered and won the Gordon Bennett Cup for Great Britain, before entering the Circuit des Ardennes - now considered the birth of Grand Prix racing - in which he finished in second place.

In 1904, he won the Circuit des Ardennes race as he finished ahead of the defending Frankfurt champion in Christian Lautenschlager and his team-mate and best friend Charles Jarrott.
