Trevor Taylor (26 December 1936 – 27 September 2010) was a British motor racing driver from England. ==Early career== Trevor Taylor was born in Sheffield, the son of a garage owner from Rotherham. He began his racing career in Formula Three racing, initially in a Staride and later a Cooper-Norton. Ten victories in 1958 earned him the British Formula Three Championship. After a frustrating year in 1959 spent with his own Formula Two Cooper, he received an invitation to run his Lotus 18 as a second works car for 1960. He finished equal first in the Formula Junior championship with Jim Clark, although he competed in two more races that counted towards the championship than Clark who was already driving regularly for Team Lotus in Formula One. Taylor went on to win the title on his own account in 1961.〔 At the end of 1961 Taylor got a regular Formula One drive with Team Lotus and proved competitive with Clark and Moss in the South African series in December 1961. Taylor often proved competitive in non-championship F1 races and performed well in the following years SA F1 races and shared a win with Jim Clark in the Mexican GP in 1962. However the significance of these non-championship victories can be exaggerated, because Team Lotus in the 1960s contested top single seat races around the world and could often provide competitive cars for a two car team, in non-championship racing in SA, NZ, Australia and North America in a way no other team could rival, and high class opponents like Moss, G. Hill were often racing inferior, ill prepared cars. In many of these races, Jim Clark just backed off after significant rivals had slowed or retired and Clark would slow, so he and Taylor crossed the line in tandem and on a number of occasions he let Trevor Taylor win.
