Tim SCHENKEN

Tim Schenken is an Australian former Formula 1 driver who competed in the early 1970s. Over the course of 34 Grand Prix starts, he secured a single podium finish and accumulated a total of seven championship points. Schenken raced for several teams, including Trojan, Iso Marlboro, Surtees, Brabham, and De Tomaso, with his final season spent at Trojan.

Despite not achieving any race wins or pole positions, Schenken maintained a notably consistent record, completing every race he entered without a single retirement. His podium rate of 2.9% and an average gain of nearly three-quarters of a position per race reflect a driver capable of steady progress amid the competitive field of his era. However, he did not record any notable success in wet weather conditions.

Schenken's career, spanning a brief but active period, is marked by reliability and persistence rather than outright victories. His zero percent DNF rate stands out in the context of 1970s Formula 1, an era often characterized by mechanical failures and high attrition, underscoring his role as a dependable competitor during a challenging period in the sport's history.
