Jackie Pretorius was a South African single-seater driver who raced in Formula 1 between 1968 and 1973. He was an established professional, competing in the sport's top championship at a level where the grid mixed semi-professional entrants with elite graded champions. Pretorius started three times for Iso Marlboro and once for Brabham, a leading team of the era that fielded drivers across a wide range of ability.[1]
His Formula 1 career saw him compete alongside some of the era's strongest drivers. He finished 18th in the 1973 championship standings, his final season in the series. Pretorius regularly raced against Jackie Stewart, a three-time world champion then at the peak of his powers, and against Denny Hulme, the 1967 world champion; he typically finished behind both men. These were the men setting the pace in Formula 1 during his time in the sport.[2]
