Career
He participated in 13 World Championship Grands Prix, scoring 12 championship points. Arundell became a professional racing driver after finishing his time in the Royal Air Force, competing in Elva and Lotus cars. He marked his arrival in the Formula One World Championship in 1964 with two podium finishes.
In 1964, while racing in Formula Two at Reims-Gueux, he had a spin and was hit at high speed by Richie Ginther.
Arundell was thrown from the car in the impact, which resulted in him missing most of the 1965 season. Lotus boss Colin Chapman saved his place in the team for 1966, finishing third on his comeback in the non-championship South African Grand Prix at East London on 1 January 1966.
He did not enjoy any great success and at the end of that year he retired from Formula One, having started only 11 races. He retired from racing altogether in 1969, and later moved to Florida, where he set up the software company Mystique, responsible for amongst other games the notorious Custer"s Revenge.
