Colin Davis was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1959 and 1962, entering three races for Porsche across two seasons. He raced in a world championship that fielded amateurs and semi-professionals alongside graded professionals, and finished 16th in the championship standings in his final season of 1962.[1]
Davis's Formula 1 record placed him against multiple champions and established professionals in the top single-seater series. He usually finished behind Jack Brabham, a three-time Formula 1 champion with 128 starts in the series, and Bruce McLaren, a regular entry with 103 Formula 1 appearances. He beat Ron Flockhart and Giorgio Scarlatti, each of whom held substantial Formula 1 records. His second start came for Cooper-Maserati, a team that won races during his time in the category and fielded drivers including established professional Richie Ginther.[2]
