Career
He participated in three Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 14 May 1961. He scored no championship points. After a crash during practice for the 1961 German Grand Prix, May concentrated on engineering, helping to develop a fuel injection system for Porsche and Ferrari.
May is generally credited with introducing the first manipulated elevated wing onto a racing car - a Porsche 550 - to produce downforce (or down thrust) for enhanced braking and cornering speeds to reduce lap times.
He also worked in designing high-compression engines, improving fuel economy among other things. The most notable example was his reworked "Fireball" head for the "high-efficiency" high-compression Jaguar V-12 HE engine.
