Larry Perkins

Larry Perkins is a Australian former Formula 1 driver. Made eleven formula 1 starts in the mid-1970s, his career taking in the boro, brm, surtees and brabham-alfa romeo teams.

He entered the championship in 1976 with the small Boro outfit, then drove for BRM in 1977, by which time the once-great British marque was well past its competitive peak.

None of his eleven starts brought championship points, and he went unclassified in the standings in both seasons — an outcome that owed much to the uncompetitive machinery available to him.

Perkins's Formula 1 career was brief but varied, spread across four team entries in the space of two seasons, and it ended in 1977 when he was 27 years old.
