Bertil Roos (born October 12, 1943[1]) is a former racing driver from Gothenburg, Sweden. He participated in a single Formula One Grand Prix, his home race in 1974, from which he retired with transmission failure.
Despite enjoying early promise in winning the US Formula Super Vee title in 1973, and also doing well in Formula 2 in Europe and Formula Atlantic in Canada, Roos only received one shot at Formula One. He and his team, Shadow, did not get on particularly well, and ultimately the team chose to work with Tom Pryce instead. Roos went back to the USA and Canada, where he continued racing.
In 1975, he created an eponymous racing school in Pennsylvania, USA near Pocono Raceway.[2] The school is accredited by the SCCA to be able to recommend graduates for race licenses at the regional and national levels.[3]
Still racing in the 1980s, Roos was a two-time Can-Am champion in the 2 liter and under category.[4]
