Jimmy Jackson was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1950 and 1954, accumulating two starts for Kurtis Kraft without recording a win or podium finish. His Racer Rating of 4,273 places him in the professional category, meaning he was a driver capable of competing at the national championship level, though his sparse record offers limited insight into his sustained capability at that tier. Across his two classified starts, Jackson finished on average in fifteenth position.[1]
Jackson's limited Formula 1 appearances saw him line up against elite competitors of the era. He finished ahead of Gene Hartley and Jimmy Reece, both drivers with ratings in the 7,000s who represented a much stronger tier of professional racing, as well as Ed Elisian, an established professional of the 6,600-level bracket. His single 1954 outing resulted in a twenty-seventh place finish. The Kurtis Kraft team he drove for proved capable equipment in that period; across its entire history the outfit has recorded five race wins and fielded drivers ranging up to Duane Carter, a generational talent rated at 7,326.[2]
