Colin Blair (born 17 September 1957 in Glasgow) is a British former racing driver best known for his short time driving in the British Touring Car Championship. After working for a recruitment company, he didn't start in motor sport until the age of thirty-nine.
Racing career
Blair spent two years in 1997 and 1998, racing in the Scottish Road saloon car champion with a class A Ford Sierra RS500. In 1999, he drove a class A Ford Escort in the Ford Saloon Car Challenge, where he finished the season in second place. He stepped up to the BTCC in 2000, with an independent Nissan Primera GT. Early in the season he won the Michelin Cup for Independents at Brands Hatch and scored points towards the Independents' standings. At the series' Knockhill round in May, he arrived tied at the top of the Michelin Cup points table with reigning independent champion Matt Neal.
Blair later crashed out of the Oulton Park feature race in his Nissan Primera. Crash.net later reported that Blair withdrew after a testing crash at Croft and was replaced in the PRO Motorsport Primera by David Leslie.
Blair finished 11th in the 2000 BTCC standings with 26 points, and placed second in the Michelin Cup for Independents behind Neal.
In 2001, Blair drove in the production class BTCC with GA Janspeed Racing in an Alfa Romeo 156 with teammate Gavin Pyper, finishing in eighteenth place.
