Hugh Carrington
« on: Friday 01 March 13 10:45 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find out about my husband's uncle, Malcolm Hugh Carrington, known as Hugh Carrington.  He was involved with Formula One racing back in the fifties and won the 9 hour race in 1959.  I believe he was an electrical engineer and lived in Johannesburg. He was born in the UK and was the grandson of J B Carrington, goldsmith and Court jeweler of London. Any information at all would be great!

Hi I found nothing on NAAIRS but found a link to his winning the 9 hour race at Kyalami http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyalami_9_Hours and I also found this link to info on the race won by Hugh http://thechicaneblog.com/2012/02/20/1959-johannesburg-9-hours-program/

That is all I could find.

Thanks for having a look Derek.  Hugh is turning into a bit of a mystery! Will keep looking and hope that someone somewhere knows something. F

Hugh Carrington died in the 1990s so we are looking for information about a dead person.
