Downing was born into a wealthy family, whose interests included material manufacturing and transport.

Initially racing a Brooke Special, he switched to a Connaught in 1951, winning 17 races throughout the year. Downing fought in the British expeditionary force during the Second World War after which he began a career race driving. Downing switched to single seaters in 1952 racing a Connaught A-Type, and won the Madgwick Cup at Goodwood and second place at the Grand Prix des Frontières at Chimay, Belgium, where he lost the lead at the end of the race several metres before the finish line. He finished ninth in his first World Championship event at Silverstone, but had run fourth in the race before spinning while avoiding a backmarker. He competed in the Dutch Grand Prix later that year, but retired from an oil-pressure problem. He switched to an Aston Martin DB3S for 1953, but decided to retire from racing soon after. Downing emigrated to South Africa in 1955, where he began a business mining diamonds at the mouth of the Orange river. This business was later sold to the De Beers. Later he lived in Monaco where he died in 2004. His daughter Anne married Patrick McNally, whose company Allsport Management controlled the corporate hospitality and circuit advertising for Formula One. (en)
