He drove for the Matra and Gulf Research Mirage teams in endurance racing from 1972-\u201973, finishing 2nd at Le Mans in \u201972, and drove a BRM P167 to wins in the Interseries. His one Can-Am race at Riverside in 1971 netted him 3rd place behind the all-conquering Team McLaren cars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite his fondness for racing, there was no question that Howden\u2019s greatest love was his late wife, American-born racer Judy Kondratieff, to whom he was introduced by Patti McLaren in 1971.
