Eddie Keizan was a South African racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1973 and 1975. He drove for Team Lotus and Tyrrell, racing solo in the sport's premier single-seater championship across a field that included both semi-professional entrants and established graded professionals. An established professional by rating, Keizan made three starts over three seasons without scoring championship points.[1]
His Formula 1 career placed him among the grid's middle-order runners. Against the elite company of the era, he regularly finished behind Carlos Reutemann, an elite professional with 146 Formula 1 starts, and Jody Scheckter, who would become the 1979 Formula 1 champion. Keizan's sole noteworthy result came in direct competition with stronger opposition; he finished ahead of Niki Lauda, a three-time world champion, once, and ahead of Clay Regazzoni, an established professional with 131 starts, once.[2]
