Ivor Bueb was a British Saloon Car Championship driver and race winner, having competed in the 1959 season. It is unknown if Bueb would have continued in the championship, as he was killed at a Formula Two meeting in France on the 1st of August 1959.[2]
Background[]
Bueb's career was dominated by his pursuit of a career in Formula One, when he began competing in Formula Three in 1953.[2] Bueb then obtained several drives in Formula One from 1957, driving for the Cooper Works team.[2] Bueb also competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking two victories in 1955 and 1957.[1]
BTCC History[]
Bueb would only compete in three races before his death in 1959, driving a Jaguar 3.4 litre for Equipe Endeavour.[3] Bueb had been impressive that season, taking three wins from three starts, beating the likes of Roy Salvadori and Gawaine Baillie.[3] Although Bueb died in August that year, his points tally was enough to see him placed seventh in that year's championship, as well as runner up in Class D.[1]
