Günther Seiffert was a German single-seater driver who made one Formula 1 start for Lotus-BRM in 1963. He is an established professional by rating, though his indexed record consists solely of that single Grand Prix appearance.[1]
Seiffert's only recorded outing came in the 1963 Formula 1 season, where he finished 13th in the championship standings. His earlier attempt to compete in Formula 1 came at the 1962 German Grand Prix, when he shared a Lotus with Wolfgang Seidel; the car failed to qualify.[2]
He raced in a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals. His single competitor in the championship that season was Jim Clark, who would go on to establish himself as an elite professional and become one of the strongest drivers Lotus-BRM fielded across its history.
