Source-derived summary

Edward Norton Whiteaway (1 November 1928 – 18 October 1995) was a British racing driver from England, who raced from 1951 to 1963. His single World Championship Formula One entry was at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix in his privately entered HWM, but he failed to qualify. He also competed in some non-Championship Formula One races.

At Le Mans in 1959, Whiteaway teamed up with John Turner in Mrs. Waugh's ACE Bristol. They won the 2 litre class and came seventh overall.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ted Whiteaway” as british racing driver (1928–1995). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1928, 1995, 1951, 1963—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1928-11-01. The account is most persuasive where Whiteaway, British and racing can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british racing driver (1928–1995). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1192944. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1928, 1995, 1951 and 1963.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
