Ian Ewart Raby (22 September 1921 in Woolwich, London – 7 November 1967 in Lambeth ) was a British racing driver from England. He participated in 7 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 20 July 1963 in the British Grand Prix, where he retired on Lap 60. He scored no championship points. He was a garage-owner in Brighton, Sussex trading as Empire Cars Ltd.〔See: ''1½-litre Grand Prix Racing: Low Power, High Tech'', by Mark Whitelock, Veloce, 2006, Page 249.〕 As a privateer he came to Formula One late in life. Raby started racing about 1953 and drove an assortment of cars, many with the name "puddle jumper" written on the side. He is remembered for the I.E.R. Midget F3 car of 1954. He won the 500 c.c. racing car class in a Cooper at the Brighton Speed Trials in 1955.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', October 1955, Page 602.〕 Raby finished 15th in the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, sharing a Cooper-Climax T39 with Jack Brabham. He won the first Formula Junior race to be held in Britain, at Brands Hatch on 3 August 1959 driving the one-off Moorland car.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', January 1960, Page 18.〕 On 12 June 1960 he won a heat and finished second overall in the Albi Grand Prix, France, for Formula Junior cars.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', July 1960, Page 524.〕 Later that year he won a Formula Libre race at Mallory Park in a Cooper-Climax F2.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', January 1961, Page 18.〕 On 9 May 1963 he took third place in the non-championship F1 Rome Grand Prix at Vallelunga in a Gilby-B.R.M. V8.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', July 1963, Page 517.〕 At the Solitude Grand Prix he was still running at the end but not classified,〔See: ''Motor Sport'', September 1963, Page 688.〕 and he retired in the Oulton Park Gold Cup.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', September 1963, Page 889.〕 He switched to a Brabham-B.R.M. for 1964 but the car often let him down, non-starting in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', October 1964, Page 811.〕 He managed an eighth at Syracuse in the Brabham in 1965,〔See: ''Motor Sport'', May 1965, Page 388.〕 selling the car prior to the Italian Grand Prix that year.〔 As Formula One switched to 3-litres for 1966 Ian Raby opted to race in Formula Two. An F2 Brabham-Ford Lotus twin-cam for 1967 produced an eighth place at Snetterton on 24 March.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', May 1967, Page 402.〕 Another eighth place at Hockenheim in June only highlighted the lack of a ''de rigueur'' Cosworth FVA engine. Back at Hockenheim on 9 July, Raby managed fifth place against his more powerful rivals.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', August 1967, Page 696.〕 On 30 July 1967, Ian Raby crashed his Brabham in the Zandvoort Trophy (Grote Prijs van Zandvoort) F2 race and was seriously injured.〔See: ''Motor Sport'', September 1967, Page 793; ''The Guardian'', 31 July 1967, Page 1.〕 He succumbed to his injuries on 7 November 1967.〔See: ''The Times'', 10 November 1967.〕 ==Complete Formula One World Championship results== (key) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ian Raby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
