Thomas Monarch is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 3,385 places him in the competitive amateur band; he raced at club and regional level against a mix of paid and self-funded competitors. His racing career on record consists of a single Formula 1 start in 1963 for Lotus-Climax, the season in which he finished 18th in that round and recorded no wins or podiums. The Lotus team he joined was a competitive outfit that won 22 races across its history and numbered among its drivers Jim Clark, a driver of elite professional standard; Monarch's sole appearance yielded no points in what was a one-race involvement with the series.[1]
Monarch retired from racing after that 1963 season. His brief presence in Formula 1 places him among the American drivers to have attempted the championship; his contribution to the sport's record is limited to that single classified result at the back of the field.
