  • A Multiple Winner in Historic Racing from 1978 BRM P25 Chassis Number: 255/R
    ! A Multiple Winner in Historic Racing from 1978 BRM P25 Chassis Number: 255/R • Officially backed by BRM and parent company Rubery Owen, the reconstruction of BRM’s iconic P25 front engine Grand Prix car was started in the 1960s, some time before those made by Tom Wheatcroft. • Built using a combination of original parts and parts supplied by BRM, with chassis work and assembly by the original BRM staff in Bourne, the home of BRM. • Raced with many victories in historic racing from 1978, and winner of the 1980 French Grand Prix support race which led to the formation of the HGPCA. • Maintained by BRM experts Hall & Hall and fitted with a new Hall & Hall BRM 2.5 litre engine, producing a very impressive 285hp. • A very competitive, and in the right hands potentially race winning, front engined Grand Prix car with eligibility for the HGPCA and Goodwood. Arguably the fastest of the front-engined Grand Prix cars. Few names in Formula 1 history evoke the same feeling of history, nostalgia and excitement as BRM. The brainchild of two men, Raymond Mays and Peter Berthon, British Racing Motors or BRM became what was effectively seen as the British national Formula 1 outfit in the post-War era. BRM arrived on the Grand Prix scene with one of the most ambitious Grand Prix car designs of all time. As the dust settled in 1947, Mays and Berthon planned to build an outstanding Grand Prix machine to take on the likes of Alfa Romeo and Mercedes-Benz. This resulted in what was to be a highly advanced design and extensive engineering exercise.

  • By Fred Bent, Clerk of the Course
    RECCE REPORT By Fred Bent, Clerk of the Course Rally Round's 2018 Paris-Amsterdam Rally will be a celebration of two great motoring anniversaries - of the first long-distance journey by motor car in 1888, and of the first international motor race just 10 years later. In planning the six-day rally route through France, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands, I have sought to combine entertaining and traffic-free roads, challenging regularity sections, several iconic motorsport venues and many other points of scenic, historic and cultural interest, not to mention lovely refreshment and lunch stops and the very best hotels. It's amazing how much you can pack into each day on the road, even allowing for a relaxed schedule (appropriate for cars of all ages) and plenty of time for socialising. Having published a provisional itinerary in the event brochure, we embarked on a detailed route recce in August 2017, checking every aspect of the event, confirming venue details and writing a comprehensive roadbook. I have made a few minor improvements to the route outlined in the brochure, allowing more time to explore interesting places and steering clear of potential traffic hotspots wherever possible. I'm pleased with the result, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you haven't already done so you can reserve your place or obtain answers to any questions you might have by calling the Rally Office on +44 (0)1252 794100 or sending an email to [email protected]. You'll also find more details, a copy of the brochure including supplementary regulations and an online enquiry button on the Paris- Amsterdam page of our website - go to www.rallyround.co.uk.

Jack became his mentor and close friend and by 1959 McLaren Racing Bruce joined him as teammate for the Cooper Racing Team. The rest, as we say, is history but the friendship lived on and the BM Trust Following on from their Tasman Series was delighted to host Jack in New Zealand for a week of motorsport memories success, the fledgling BMMR Team set about in 2003 with Jack requesting that the priority of the trip was to be a visit to their very first sports car race with the Zerex see his “NZ Mum” Ruth McLaren, who, by then, was a sprightly 97 years old. th Special – on April 11 1964 at Oulton Park and I shared a very special hour with the two of them together and the love and this was a DNF/oil pressure.

  • French Resistance: the 1988 French Grand Prix of Their Many Head-To
    French Resistance: The 1988 French Grand Prix Of their many head-to-heads during their battle for F1 supremacy in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost’s confrontation at the 1988 French Grand Prix was arguably one of their most intense ever. A new book due to be published in February, ‘The Power and The Glory: Senna, Prost and F1’s Golden Era,’ relates the story of this and many other clashes between F1’s all-time heavyweight super-team during that unforgettable era of Grand Prix racing. When the teams arrived at an impossibly hot Circuit Paul Ricard for the seventh round of the 1988 world championship, Alain Prost was certainly feeling the heat in more ways than one. Early July and the south of France was sizzling under a summer heatwave. Not only this, but the Frenchman’s new team-mate, a certain Ayrton Senna, had just won the previous two Grands Prix in North America with something to spare. These performances had followed hard on the heels of a Monaco Grand Prix in which the formidable Brazilian had humiliated the French ace, until an inexplicable error had eliminated him late in the race. The new recruit was coming on strong, very strong. Mclaren’s double world champion was having to dig deep within himself, for Ayrton Senna had arrived at Mclaren with just one aim: to depose the Frenchman from the top of the F1 pedestal. Six races into 1988 and F1’s weather watchers reckoned the Brazilian was doing just that.

  • Series Omnibus History of F1 – 1900S to 1940S
    History of F1 – Series Omnibus This is Sidepodcast’s mini series – History of F1. The following seven shows were originally released over seven consecutive days, covering the history of the sport from the 1900s all the way up to the present day. This omnibus now gathers all the shows up together in one, for easy listening. Enjoy. History of F1 – 1900s to 1940s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. This series will take us back to the beginning of the 20th century, when Formula 1 was all about honour, it was a gentleman’s sport, and it mostly involved getting to the end of the road without falling in a pothole. We’ll travel through time (not literally, of course), to see how Formula 1 became the corporate and money‐orientated sport that it is today. The F1 championship, and all the official records, date back to the 1950s, but the essence of F1 can be traced all the way back to the early 1900s. Back then it involved heavy cars. Drivers would be accompanied by a mechanic because reliability was such a problem, and the track was just a simple road in France. I say simple, but actually, the races were long and tough. The first proper motor race was called the Paris‐Bordeaux because… well, it went from Paris to Bordeaux. It was 1200km, and the winner achieved it in 48 hours. Average speeds were a rocketing 29.9 miles per hour. 1901 saw the first race with Grand Prix in the title, the French Grand Prix, taking place at Le Mans.

  • PRESS RELEASE November 14, 2011 a HIGH-IMPACT TEAM Run
    PRESS RELEASE November 14, 2011 A HIGH-IMPACT TEAM Run on ice circuits, where track conditions vary widely according to the weather conditions, the Trophée Andros provides the drivers with a stern test. Each and every one of them must possess precision, agility, rigour and inventiveness to succeed. The Trophée Andros is a unique competition in which consistency and performance are equally important. After securing runner-up honours at the end of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, Alain Prost and Dacia naturally decided to continue together into the new season... and to launch a new personal adventure with a second Dacia entry, driven by his son Nicolas Prost and Evens Stievenart, joint winner of the 2010/2011 Superfinal alongside Alain Prost at the Stade de France. With this second entry, Dacia aims to give two talented, young drivers the opportunity to race for a Top Team. Naturally, every driver wants to be in the hunt for victory, but the common goal is to win the team standings. It's a two-pronged challenge that will add extra excitement to the season. Alain Prost: “Nicolas and Evens are both Trophée Andros regulars, who love this series. We can't wait for the new season to begin. The idea of competing in the Trophée Andros as rivals and partners within the same team is a great sporting challenge for both them and for me.” Nicolas Prost: “I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the Lodgy Glace. After winning the Trophée Andros Electrique in 2010 and 2011, I'm looking forward to proving myself again this year.
