John Young

John Young (born January 31, 1927, died April 18, 2017) was a British racing driver.

After being rejected by the RAF to fly Spitfires in WW2, Young began working at his father's car dealer in Caterham in the postwar period. This led to him taking up motor racing in the 1950s, most notably taking part in numerous non-championship Formula One races.

In 1958, Young took in a part season in the newly-formed British Saloon Car Championship for his own team driving a Jaguar 3.4 Litre. He won his first BSCC race at the Goodwood meeting - the first driver outside of the Equipe Endeavour stable to win a race.
