Bud Tingelstad was an American driver with a single Formula 1 start to his name. He drove for Trevis during the 1960 season, entering one race but failing to finish in the points; he classified in 28th place. His competitive record is minimal, consisting only of that solitary Grand Prix outing.[1]
The context of that start places it within a field that included several strong Indianapolis drivers of the era; Tingelstad finished ahead of Duane Carter, Tony Bettenhausen, Jimmy Bryan, and Don Freeland in that appearance, each of whom had substantially higher professional standing than his own. However, a single result cannot establish a pattern of competitive strength. His Racer Rating of 2,968 reflects the limited data available and places him in the lower tier of drivers on record. Tingelstad is now retired.
