Alan Stanley Jones (born 2nd November, 1946 in Melbourne, Australia) is a Australian former racing driver famous for his appearances in Formula One.
Formula One
1976: Tyrell
Jones joined the Tyrell team for the 1976 season, but failed to score any points all year - his best finishes being a ninth place in South Africa.
1977: Williams
Following the unmitigated disaster of a season in 1976, Jones switched to the fledgling Williams Racing team alongside Swiss driver Clay Regazzoni. A definite step up in pace from the Tyrell, Jone scored his first points of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Later Career
Following his departure from Formula One, Jones returned to his native Australia - where he dabbled in GT and Touring Car racing. In 1988, he entered the Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst for the Caltex CXT Ford team alongside Colin Bond. He finished in sixth place overall.
