Kurt Adolff was a German racing driver whose career consisted of a single Formula 1 start in 1953 with Ferrari. He competed in the opening round of that season and finished twentieth, never scoring a point or mounting a challenge for the podium.[1]
The single-season record places Adolff among the many drivers who sampled Formula 1 in its early years without establishing a sustained presence in the sport. His involvement with Ferrari, then already a dominant constructor, came at a time when the grid regularly rotated entries and drivers; despite the team's later prominence and strength in the championship, Adolff's stint represented a brief, unsuccessful attempt to establish himself at the highest level. He retired from competition and left no further trace in the record.[2]
