About Derek Ringer
- Derek Ringer (born 11 October 1956) is a Scottish rally co-driver.
- He is most closely associated with Colin McRae, with whom he won the 1995 World Rally Championship. Although their partnership extended back to the 1980s when McRae was a teenager, the two split at the end of 1996 when they failed to defend their title, several mid-season crashes being blamed on Ringer.
- After a year's absence, Ringer returned to partner Martin Rowe in the British Rally Championship, the pair winning the 1998 title in a Renault Mégane Maxi and competing together in the World Rally Championship in 1999. Ringer then moved on to Mitsubishi for two years, before McRae's split with replacement co-driver Nicky Grist in 2002 reunited the two Scots for 2003.
- However, the partnership did not yield fresh success and both men lost their seats at Citroën.
- McRae competed in only three more world rallies, partnered by Nicky Grist on each occasion. In February 2008, Ringer served as Travis Pastrana's interim co-driver beginning with the second-round, 100 Acre Wood event on 22 February.
- Pastrana's former co-driver, Christian Edstrom announced his retirement from rallying after one race in January.
