Rob Walker Racing Team was a privateer team in Formula One during the 1950s and 1960s. Founded by Johnnie Walker heir Rob Walker in 1953, the team became F1''s most successful privateer in history, being the first and last entrant to win a Formula One Grand Prix, without ever building their own car. Walker founded his team in 1953, debuting in the Lavant Cup Formula 2 race, entering a Connaught for driver Tony Rolt, where he achieved a third place. The next race, at Snetterton, Eric Thompson was the first winner with a Rob Walker car. Between Rolt and Thompson, the Rob Walker Racing Team had an auspicious debut season, with eight wins in British club racing series. Their international debut was at the Rouen Grand Prix, a mixed F1/F2 race, with Stirling Moss''s Cooper-Alta, who managed to take 4th place among the F2 cars. The 1953 British Grand Prix was Walker''s first World Championship outing, but Rolt''s Connaught did not last the full distance.
