Timeline
Jack Rex Lewis (born 1 November 1936) is a British former racing driver, born in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Lewis' racing career began in Formula Three.
In 1958 Lewis bought a Formula Three Cooper-Norton from Cheltenham based Ivor Bueb and made his debut at Mallory Park, remarkably coming fourth.
At Brands Hatch he made front page news for surviving a crash - a lucky photographer captured Jack’s upside-down Cooper showing Jack’s hand appearing to hold the car up.
Just a week later he came first at Full Sutton and then won again at Oulton Park.
In his first season in Formula 3 he raced 13 times - he won three of his races and was on the podium for a further four.
A year later, in a Formula Two Cooper-Climax Lewis won his first F2 race at Paris Montlhéry – winning by over two minutes.
The following year Lewis' determination paid off and he took the F2 champion title – ahead of Australian World Champion Jack Brabham.
The following year, he tried his hand at Formula One and purchased a Cooper T53 from the Surbiton factory.
He made his Grand Prix debut at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa in June 1961.
His maiden season showed much promise – qualifying often mid-grid and finishing ninth in his first ever race and at the Nürburgring.
He achieved fourth in Italy.
Aside from Stirling Moss, Lewis was the only independent driver to score any points in 1961 and was listed as a Grade A driver for the following year.
He bought a 1961/62 BRM V8 to race, but the car was unsatisfactory and eventually went back to the factory.
He had no option but to return to his Cooper which he used the previous season.
Although he achieved seventh place at the Dutch Grand Prix, it was overall a disappointing season for Lewis.
The politics of F1 were beginning to affect him – he had been quicker than three works drivers at Monaco, yet had been denied a starting slot by the organisers.
Lewis survived a few dangerous moments – losing a wheel at speed at Oulton Park and ramming Graham Hill in the French Grand Prix.
He participated in 10 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix in all, scoring a total of three championship points.
In 1962 Lewis formed the Ecurie Galloise (Welsh Racing Team) sponsored by the Western Sporting Press and his father's business H&L Motors of Stroud - of which Lewis was now also a director.
By 1963, feeling despondent, Lewis retired from a promising racing career and took on a farm in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire where he bred Arab horses, and raised two daughters.
After 18 years as a sheep farmer, in 1981, Lewis returned to Gloucestershire to help his father run H&L Motors, a motorcycle business.
In 1988 he fathered a son, Jack Lewis Jnr, and currently lives in his town of birth, Stroud, Gloucestershire.
