Guy Richard Goronwy Edwards (born in Macclesfield, Cheshire on December 30, 1942) is a former racing driver from England. Although best known for his sportscar and UK Formula One career, as well as for brokering sponsorship deals, Edwards participated in 17 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on January 13, 1974.
