Vic Wilson was a British racing driver who made two starts in Formula 1 between 1960 and 1966, both for BRM. He did not score points or finish on a podium in either attempt. His single classified result came in 1966, when he finished 21st in a round-distance race.[1]

Wilson's brief Formula 1 career placed him among drivers who sampled single-seater racing without establishing themselves at that level. The calibre of the field he entered is evident from BRM's overall record; the team fielded 64 drivers across its history and produced Jackie Stewart, a front-running world championship driver. Wilson did not reach that standard and his two starts represented the extent of his top-tier single-seater racing.[2]

His later reputation rested on a different branch of motorsport. Wilson became known in off-road racing, most notably as the winner of the first Baja 1000 in 1967, an achievement that defined his legacy far more than his brief Formula 1 appearances.
