Bobby Unser made a single Formula 1 appearance in 1968, driving for BRM. He started once that season and finished 25th, recording no wins or podiums in his only grand prix outing. His racing record on the Racer Rating scale stood at 2,942, placing him among lower-ranked professional competitors.[1]

The headlines of his later life indicate that Unser's primary racing career took place outside Formula 1, most notably in American open-wheel racing where he won the Indianapolis 500 three times and established himself as a dominant figure in that discipline. His one-race Formula 1 stint represents only a footnote to a much longer and more successful career in other forms of motorsport.
