Colin Dryburgh picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Red Bull Formula One Series career in the Season 1 Foster's British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit when his #6 BMW WilliamsF1 Team entry completed all 7 laps under power.
The finish came in his 4th career start.
Colin was at the early point of his career when he was one of twenty two drivers to sign up for the rebranded Formula One Series, signing up to drive for the Red Bull Racing team. In his first ever F1 start, Dryburgh would impress by finishing 9th at CTMP before traveling to Mexico City, where he would visit victory lane in only his second ever start before he finish score his first ever non-points finish, a 16th at Hungaroring in the last round.
On race day, Dryburgh would roll off 14th while starting in the final spot was two time last-place finisher the #19 Jaguar Racing F1 Team entry of HIPHOPANOUNMOUS. The race would have safety car during the event when the #15 Force India F1 Team entry of Brian Fox spun out in Turn 9, but by the time the Chequered Flag waved, Dryburgh was a full twenty four seconds behind the race leaders.
The remaining Bottom Five were: 21st was the #16 Red Bull Sauber Petronas of Jay Jefferson, 20th was the #23 Prost Acer of Cole Nixey, 19th was the #5 BMW WilliamsF1 Team of Riley Spurlytube and 18th was the #4 West McLaren Mercedes of Kyle Mests.
Silverstone would be Dryburgh's lone last-place finish of his Formula One career as he would score his second and most recent F1 career win seven races later at Watkins Glen, as Dryburgh would finish third overall in the final point standings. Dryburgh would come back in Season 2 driving for the second season in a row for Red Bull with hopes of a possible championship, but would not find victory lane, finishing 3rd twice at Melbourne and Hockenheimring and would finish 10th overall in the point standings. Dryburgh would go on to have one of the most successful careers in the SCRL, having scored 20 career wins and is a three time SCRL Champion.
