Biography

Samuel "Sam" Tingle (24 August 1921 in Manchester, United Kingdom – 19 December 2008 in Somerset West, South Africa) was a racing driver from Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. He participated in five Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 28 December 1963, but never scored any championship points. He also competed in several non-Championship Formula One races.
He was one of only two drivers from Rhodesia to successfully enter a Formula One race, the other being John Love. A third Rhodesian racer, Clive Puzey, failed to qualify in his Formula One attempt.
