Jackie Pretorius was a South African racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1968 and 1973. He made three championship starts across that period, all for the Iso Marlboro team, without scoring points or reaching the podium. His single appearance for Brabham came during an era when that constructor was fielding competitive machinery; the team's roster included front-running drivers such as Carlos Reutemann, though Pretorius himself did not match that calibre in the races he contested.[1]
Pretorius's Formula 1 career was brief and peripheral to the championship. His final recorded start came in 1973, when he finished twenty-second. The record shows no wins or podium finishes across his three starts, placing him among the numerous drivers who contested the world championship in that period without establishing themselves as regular competitors. He has since retired from racing.[2]
