Leslie Thorne

Leslie Thorne, a British driver born in 1916, made one Formula 1 World Championship start, appearing for Connaught in 1954. The outing brought no championship points.

His single Grand Prix start, at the age of thirty-seven, was typical of the occasional entries made possible by Britain's small independent constructors during the first decade of the World Championship, with Connaught providing a number of home drivers their brief taste of championship racing.
