'''John Eric George "Jack" Fairman''' (* Rugby) war ein britischer Rennfahrer.

Fairman war ein Pilot, der neben dem Rennsport auch seine eigene Werkzeugfirma betrieb und so stets den Ruf eines ausgezeichneten Amateurs mit sich trug, obwohl er ein vielseitiger Rennfahrer war, der fast 20 Jahre lang (1947 bis 1963) bei zahllosen Rennen startete. Man sah Fairman bei Formel-1-Rennen. 1947 begann seine Karriere mit einem selbst erworbenen Connaught, Cooper und Saison 1956, in der er mit einem vierten und einem fünften Platz WM-Zehnter wurde. Sein Amateurstatus verhinderte ein Engagement in einem Spitzenteam, doch als Gelegenheitspilot und Testfahrer war er begehrt. 1963 zog er sich vom aktiven Rennsport zurück und konzentrierte sich auf seinen Betrieb. Seinen Lebensabend verbrachte Fairman in der Stadt Rugby, wo er 88-jährig 2002 starb.

'''Jack Fairman''' (born Rugby) was a British 1956 season.

==Career summary==
Fairman was only an occasional racing driver, his main source of income coming from running the family precision tool manufacturing company. He got his first taste of motorsport before Alvis 12/50 in trials and hill climb events from 1934. He quickly moved on to races at the Tank Corps.

Postwar, Fairman's reliable and dogged driving attributes saw him achieve many successes in Jaguar, Tourist Trophy at Goodwood. He also made a brief HWM 53.

His engineering experience and dependable driving made him an obvious choice for constructors to contact when they needed a test driver. His most significant contribution in this role was during the development of Connaught's British or Italian Grands Prix. He took a Connaught Type B to two points finishes during the 1956 Formula One season, his only points in a very long F1 career, finishing tenth in the World Championship that year.

Following front engined car ''and'' the first to drive a four-wheel drive car, at the 1961 British Grand Prix. The car in question was the experimental Ferguson P99, designed by Ferguson Research Ltd. and run by the Rob Walker Racing Team. Unfortunately for Fairman, his RWR team mate Stirling Moss suffered brake failure in his Lotus 18 and took over the 4WD machine in Fairman's stead. Moss was then later disqualified for receiving a push start, which also ended Fairman's race. Fairman's last F1 race was in the 1963 non-Championship City of Imola Grand Prix event, driving a Porsche for Ecurie Maarsbergen.
