🇺🇸 Masten Gregory

Masten Gregory was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1957 to 1965, an era when the grid ran from amateurs and semi-professionals to the sport's elite within a single championship. He drove for BRM across 42 starts in the series, scoring three podiums over eight seasons before his retirement.[1]

Gregory's Formula 1 career saw him finish 13th in the championship standings in his final season in 1965. His strongest results came against some of the era's leading drivers; he twice finished ahead of Jim Clark, a two-time world champion, and bested Mike Hawthorn, the 1958 champion, in at least one encounter. He was closely matched against Jack Brabham across multiple meetings, the three-time champion registering regular battles with Gregory, though he typically finished behind Jo Bonnier, an established professional and fellow Formula 1 regular. Beyond his time in the series, Gregory won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965 driving for NART.[2]
