Midge Bosworth

Midge Bosworth, (born 23 June 1941),^[1] is a former Australian racing driver.

The 1965 Bathurst winning Cortina

Bosworth raced in the 1960s and is most remembered for winning the 1965 Bathurst 500, co-driving with Barry Seton in a Fairfield Motors entered Ford Cortina GT500. It was Bosworth's second, and last, start in the Bathurst 500, so he shares with Harry Firth and Graeme Bailey the distinction of winning the event at his last attempt.

Bosworth was only 24 when he won Bathurst in 1965. He held the honour of being the youngest driver to win the race for no less than 31 years, until Craig Lowndes won the Bathurst 1000 when he was 22 in 1996.^[2]
