Art Cross was an established professional racing driver competing in Formula 1 between 1952 and 1955. He drove for Kurtis Kraft, an outfit that fielded 87 drivers across the index and won five races in that span. The Formula 1 grid of that era mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals in the same races, and Cross raced against established competitors throughout his time in the series.[1]
Cross made four starts in Formula 1 and scored one podium finish. His most recent activity was 1955, when he started one round and finished 15th in the championship standings. He was closely matched with Jim Rathmann, another established professional who made ten Formula 1 starts; the two drivers split their meetings. Cross also raced regularly against Duane Carter, an established professional with eight Formula 1 entries, though he typically finished behind him; he did beat Carter once across their races together.[2]
