Timeline

1933

Alan Stacey (29 August 1933 – 19 June 1960) was a British racing driver.

He began his association with Lotus when he built one of the MkVI kits then being offered by the company.

Having raced this car he went on to build an Eleven, eventually campaigning it at Le Mans under the Team Lotus umbrella.

During the following years he spent much time developing the Lotus Grand Prix cars, most notably the front-engined 16 and then the 18.

1958

He participated in seven Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 19 July 1958.

He scored no championship points.

He also participated in several non-championship Formula One races.

Stacey was an amputee, racing with an artificial lower right leg due to a motorcycle accident when he was 17.

Stacey competed successfully in many sports car races driving Lotus cars, initially as a private entrant in his own car and later for Team Lotus.

He drove with Peter Ashdown in a 1098cc Lotus Eleven in the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans but they failed to finish.

Stacey made his Formula One debut for Team Lotus at the 1958 British Grand Prix.

1959

He drove a Lotus XV-Climax to victory at Aintree, in a July 1959 race for sports cars of 1400cc to two litres.

His time was 37 minutes 39.4 seconds.

1960

He was promoted to a full-time role in 1960.

Stacey's best race came at the 1960 Dutch Grand Prix, where he ran third for a majority of the race, before retiring on lap 57 due to transmission failure.

Due to his disability, he had a motorcycle throttle on the gear-lever during his time at Team Lotus.

Friend and journalist Jabby Crombac believed it put him at a considerable disadvantage at Formula One level, due to the more precise throttle control the cars needed compared to lower-formula cars.

Stacey's driving was "conservative" according to one observer.

Stacey was killed during the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix, at Spa-Francorchamps, when he crashed at 120 mi/h after being hit in the face by a bird on lap 25, while lying sixth in his Lotus 18-Climax (the same type Lotus as Stirling Moss, Jim Clark and Innes Ireland).

Stacey's car went off the road on the inside of the fast, sweeping right hand Burnenville curve (the same corner where Moss crashed the previous day), climbed a waist-high embankment, penetrated ten feet of thick hedges, and fell into a field.

He died within a few minutes of Chris Bristow, and within a few hundred feet of that wreck.

1980

In a mid-1980s edition of Road & Track magazine, Stacey's friend and teammate Innes Ireland wrote an article about Stacey's death, in which he stated some spectators claimed a bird had flown into Stacey's face while he was approaching the curve, possibly knocking him unconscious, or even possibly killing him by breaking his neck or inflicting a fatal head injury, before the car crashed.

Stacey's original Lotus Mk VI was purchased from its owner by the Stacey Family and underwent complete, but sympathetic restoration in the hands of Stacey's schoolfriend, VSCC, Bentley Drivers Club and Historic Grand Prix Drivers Association racer, Ian Bentall, who had originally helped construct the car.

The Lotus is still in the hands of the Stacey Family where it makes occasional appearances on the track.
