Alan Stacey was a British racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1958 and 1960, making seven World Championship starts for Team Lotus. He did not score points in the championship, though he participated in several non-championship Formula 1 races during this period. His Racer Rating of 4,575 places him among professional drivers of a strong regional or national standard. Across his classified starts he finished on average in eighth position, demonstrating competitive pace within the grids he encountered.[1]
Stacey's association with Lotus was deep and technical. He had built and raced Lotus customer cars before joining the team's Grand Prix effort, and spent significant time developing the company's single-seaters, notably the front-engined 16 and the later 18. During his brief Formula 1 career he occasionally outfinished higher-rated drivers; he beat the triple world champion Graham Hill once, and also finished ahead of Henry Taylor, Ivor Bueb, and Chris Bristow in individual races. Team Lotus, the only outfit for which he raced at championship level, proved a formidable team across its history, accumulating 45 wins and fielding drivers of championship calibre. Stacey's own contribution to the team's technical development and his occasional competitive results suggest a professional with both engineering acumen and driving skill operating in Formula 1's competitive middle order during the late 1950s.[2]
