John Rhodes (born 18 August 1927)[1] is a British former racing driver from England, who participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, the 1965 British Grand Prix, at Silverstone on 10 July 1965, from which he retired on lap 39 with ignition problems. His Cooper T60 Climax was provided for him by veteran racer Bob Gerard.[2]

In 1961 Rhodes drove a Cooper-B.M.C. Formula Junior car for the Midland Racing Partnership, winning a long race on the Phoenix Park circuit in Dublin on 22 July, and the Dunboyne Trophy on 29 July.[3] On 11 June 1962, he drove Bob Gerard's Cooper-Ford in the 2,000 Guineas F1 race at Mallory Park.[4] Rhodes soldiered on with the Cooper-B.M.C. FJ car in 1963 when the Ford engine was required to win.[5] That year he competed in a works Mini-Cooper 'S' type in saloon car racing,[6] finishing 8th with Rob Slotemaker in The Motor International Six-Hour Saloon-Car Race at Brands Hatch on 6 July.[7] In 1965, Rhodes continued with the Mini, taking fourth place, among the big bangers, in the Ilford Films Trophy at Brands Hatch on 13 March.[8] He failed to finish in the BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone in Bob Gerard's Cooper-Ford on 15 May 1965.[9]

At Le Mans in 1965, Rhodes, with Paul Hawkins, finished twelfth overall, and first in class, in a 1.3-litre Austin-Healey Sebring Sprite entered by the Donald Healey Motor Company, completing 278 laps.[10] In 1966 at the Targa Florio, Rhodes partnered with Timo Mäkinen, finished ninth overall and won the class in an M.G.B.[11]
