Following a rapid and spectacularly successful rise from his 1976 Formula Ford debut through to F3 in 1980, Grovewood Award winner Acheson's progress - interrupted by a broken leg sustained in the F2 Pau GP in 1981 -finally ran up a cul-de-sac with his fruitless attempts to make an impression in Formula 1 with the uncompetitive RAM team.

Although his subsequent career lacked continuity, the quiet and talented Ulsterman proved his ability in sports car racing, emerging as 1987 joint All-Japan champion in a Porsche 962. A works Sauber-Mercedes driver in 1989, he finished third at Le Mans in 1991 in a factory Jaguar.

Acheson survived a 180 mph crash at the 1996 Daytona 24-hour sports car race, when his Lister GT tangled with a slower competitor. Escaping with an eye injury and massive bruising, he subsequently retired from the sport.
