Colin Blair (born 17 September 1957 in Glasgow) was a British auto 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
He 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. This was the last year of the Super Touring era and there was a very small field of driving, with no more than eleven class A cars starting at one time. Blair only raced in selected rounds, sharing the car with David Leslie. He finished the season second in the independents championship behind the only other Indy driver Matt Neal, and eleventh in the over-all drivers championship. In 2001 he drove in the production class BTCC with GA Janspeed Racing in a Alfa Romeo 156 with team mate Gavin Pyper, finishing in eighteenth place.
