Gilby

The British Gilby team, founded by Sid Gilby, notably entered Formula 1 with their self-built chassis in 1961. Driven by Keith Greene, the Gilby 61 competed in a single Grand Prix that year, showcasing a plucky independent effort in an era of burgeoning privateer entries. While their Formula 1 tenure was brief, spanning 7 races between 1961 and 1962, it represented the ambition of small constructors to compete at the sport's highest level. Despite no significant results, Gilby remains a footnote in F1 history, emblematic of the diverse constructors that once populated the grid.
