🏳️ William Ferguson

William Ferguson is a South African racing driver whose career has been most closely associated with the SCCA Runoffs. Early in his time behind the wheel, he became connected to Formula One machinery through the Team Gunston outfit, having been entered for the 1972 South African Grand Prix in a Brabham BT33, though a blown engine in practice prevented him from taking the start. He had also been considered for a Surtees TS9 with the same team, a car that ultimately went to John Love, and he went on to take part in a number of non-Championship Formula One races during that period of his career.[1]

Within the confines of the record kept by Racer DB, Ferguson's competitive ledger in the SCCA Runoffs shows two career starts, with no wins, podiums, or championships to his name, and his status is listed as retired. His Racer Rating stands at 1,207, placing him 11,697th among active drivers on a scale where the leading competitors in the world sit between roughly 10,000 and 11,500, reflecting a career carried out well outside the sport's uppermost tier. In the 2026 season he appeared in a single round, without recording a win or podium, and was classified 38th in the standings, a modest coda to a career that began with the promise of Formula One machinery in South Africa.[2]
