Gary Hocking was a Rhodesian driver who made a single Formula 1 appearance for Lotus-Climax in 1962, finishing twentieth in what was his only recorded start in the series. His racing career on record spans that single season, after which he retired from the sport.[1]

Hocking competed at a time when Formula 1 grids were significantly larger and more diverse in driver capability than in later eras, but his sole outing produced no championship points. He shared the Lotus team with a field of drivers of widely varying experience and talent; the marque would later become closely associated with Jim Clark, one of the sport's dominant figures, though that association came after Hocking's departure from racing.
