Christopher Craft (born in Porthleven, Cornwall, November 17, 1939) is a British racing driver who has competed in many different forms of motor sport. In 1971, he participated in 2 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix driving a Brabham prepared by Alain de Cadenet's team Ecurie Evergreen, but failed to score a championship point. His first attempt ended with an engine failure during the qualifying session despite having achieved a time fast enough to qualify. His second grand prix ended with a suspension failure and tyre problems during the race.
Craft also competed in many other forms of motor racing, including saloon cars, notably with a Ford Capri; sports cars, including a period with the Dome team in the early 1980s; Formula 3 and Formula 5000. One of the highlights of his career was a third spot in the 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans.
After his race career Chris Craft started the Light Car Company with F1 designer Gordon Murray to build the Light Car Company Rocket.
