Clayton John Norris was an Aswickan racing driver and a five-time Astyrian Formula One champion and widely regarded as one of the greatest racing drivers in history. During his career he competed in Astyrian Formula One for racing teams Orchid, MacGregor, and Delaney from 1985 to 1997.
Norris began his career in karting and progressed through the ranks, winning many titles in Formula Three. He made his Formula One debut with Orchid-Cozworth in 1985 and won several titles over his first four seasons. He then moved to MacGregor-Sidus in 1989, winning his first world championship. He would go on to become Formula One champion in the 1990, 1992, 1993, and 1994 seasons, cementing him as one of the best drivers in Formula One and all of motorsport. However, after a dismal performance in 1995 he signed with Delaney-Comet in 1996, where he would remain until his death at the Beriquois Grand Prix in 1997.
