Dries van der Lof was an established professional racing driver from the Netherlands who competed in Formula 1 as an amateur industrialist. He made a single World Championship start for HWM in the 1952 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, driving an HWM 52 alongside Jan Flinterman in what marked the first World Championship Grand Prix entry for a Dutch driver.[1]
Van der Lof retired from the race after 70 laps without scoring championship points, finishing 13th in the final standings. His sole Formula 1 season placed him in a field that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals; HWM, the team he drove for, fielded 14 drivers across the indexed record, among them the established professional Stirling Moss. Van der Lof's career in the index spans only this one championship entry, though he later returned to competitive racing in historic events through the 1980s.[2]
