Trevor Blokdyk was a South African motorcycle speedway competitor who made a brief foray into Formula 1 in 1963. His racing record consists of a single Grand Prix start for Cooper-Maserati that year, which ended with a 18th place finish. This places him at the semi-professional level; he raced in fields that included established professionals such as Jack Brabham, a multiple Formula 1 champion, though his solitary Grand Prix appearance provides limited evidence of sustained competitiveness at that tier.[1]

Blokdyk's background lay primarily in speedway racing, where he earned six caps for the South African national team. His Formula 1 entry appears to have been a one-off venture rather than the beginning of a sustained career in single-seaters. With only one classified result on record, his average finishing position offers little insight into his typical performance level. His Racer Rating of 3,413 reflects the limited data available from that single appearance, placing him among semi-professional drivers; the rating is driven by the quality of the field he entered rather than by a pattern of results demonstrating competitive strength against such machinery and opposition.[2]
