Fairman, Jack
Perhaps not the most famous of drivers but a big part of the 1950 / 1960 Sports car scene. Perhaps his most famous race was the 1959 Nurburgring 1000km as co driver to Moss. His job was to keep the car on the track whilst fast guy Moss rested.
Unfortunately, rain caused him to put the car in the ditch throwing away Moss's lead. With the car high and dry Moss started packing only to see Fairman arrive back in the pits. He had pushed the Aston out of the ditch on his own. Moss climbed back in and went onto win by 41 secs.
