Jackie Pretorius was a South African racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1968 and 1973. His Racer Rating of 5,172 places him in the established professional band; he raced in the sport's premier single-seater championship, the level that defines a full-time professional career. However, his record shows limited opportunity and no scoring results from his three championship starts, all of which came in the final season of his recorded activity in 1973 driving for Iso Marlboro.[1]
Pretorius's three Formula 1 entries yielded no wins, podiums, or championship points. His most recent recorded finish was a 22nd-place result in 1973. The teams he drove for were modest by the standards of the championship; Iso Marlboro was a competitive outfit, but the grid in that era included several championship-winning teams and drivers of far greater standing. His limited sample of starts and complete absence of scoreable results suggest that his Formula 1 campaign was a brief exposure rather than an established presence in the championship.[2]
