Cecil Green was an American single-seater driver who raced briefly in Formula 1 during 1950 and 1951, competing for Kurtis Kraft across two starts. His career was confined to the early years of the World Championship, a period when the grid mixed established professionals with drivers of varying experience. Green did not score points or finish on the podium in either attempt.[1]
The competitive evidence suggests Green operated at a modest level within those races. He finished ahead of several drivers who went on to establish themselves as stronger professionals; Jim Rathmann, Duane Carter, Tony Bettenhausen, and Jack McGrath all outpaced Green over the course of their careers, though each was beaten by him in at least one race. His average finish of fourth across classified starts reflects the small sample, but his lack of podium finishes and subsequent departure from the sport indicates he did not progress beyond a brief experimental period in top-level racing. Green's Racer Rating of 3,434 places him in the range of capable drivers in strong regional and national-level fields rather than the front rank of international competition.
