Ernst Loof was an automotive engineer and racing driver from Germany who competed in Formula 1 as an established professional. He drove for Veritas in 1953, taking a single start in the world championship.[1]
Loof started one race in the 1953 Formula 1 season and finished 14th in the championship standings. His career on the indexed record spans that single season. Before his racing career, Loof had contributed to the design of the BMW 328 sports car in the late 1930s.[2]
The Veritas team that fielded Loof in Formula 1 was a small operation with no race wins across its history and a strongest driver in Hans Herrmann, an established professional. Loof's single start placed him among a field that ran from amateur entrants through to graded professionals competing in the same championship.
