Chris Lawrence was a British driver who competed at the established professional level, with a Racer Rating of 5,798. His record spans two separate periods of racing separated by four decades. In 1966, he made two Formula 1 starts for Cooper-Ferrari, competing in World Championship Grands Prix without scoring points. More than forty years later, in 2007, he returned to racing with two starts in NASA competition, finishing 27th in his most recent outing. Across four total starts, Lawrence never won a race or reached the podium.[1]
Lawrence's career was marked by participation in endurance racing, particularly the Le Mans 24 Hours, which formed the foundation of his competitive experience outside Formula 1. His established professional rating reflects a driver capable of operating in strong racing environments, though his limited single-seater record produced no championship points and no top-three finishes across his four starts. The occasions on which he finished ahead of other drivers in the database came against competitors rated at the club and developing levels, rather than against peers of comparable strength.[2]
