It includes articles, references in event reports, For Sale advertisements. It also tries to include details that are relevant to the context of the 500 movement, such as clubs, organisation of the sport, and the development of venues. The only area where it is limited is when covering the careers of 500 drivers before or after their time in the movement Status: All magazines in the time period have been fully catalogued. Notes On : • Magazine issues with no entry & light shading are not available for cataloguing. We would be grateful if you could volunteer to add any missing issues. • Every effort has been made to find references, including references in general and classified advertisements. However, it is quite possible that some may have been missed whether because they are very obscure, apparently irrelevant, or just human error. • Transcription Style: • Text has been transcribed verbatim (including spelling errors), with only modern grammar substituted for contractions (e.g. “S Moss” for “S.Moss”; “ftd” for f.t.d.) • “(sic)” notation may have been used where relevant in text, and is a transcriber’s note rather than the source text. • For longer articles, only pieces of note are transcribed. The ellipsis (“… “) before a sentence indicates that text deemed irrelevant has been skipped (which could run to many paragraphs, e.g. reports of other classes in an event report).

    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

    The Ex-Graham Hill, Prototype, 1.5 Litre V8 Formula 1 1964 BRM P261 Chassis Number: 2612 • The prototype chassis of the iconic BRM P261 model. Used for extensive pre-season testing by Graham Hill, and raced by Graham Hill in the Daily Mirror Trophy at Snetterton in April 1964, where he qualified 2nd and led the wet race ahead of Jim Clark’s Lotus 25 before crashing out. • Along with the Lotus 25 and Ferrari 1512, the stunning BRM P261 represents the pinnacle of Formula 1 design of the exotic 1.5-litre era. • Disassembled at Bourne following Snetterton and obtained by Martin Hone who mounted 2612 on the wall of his establishment, The Opposite Lock Club in Birmingham where it remained until bought by BRM collector John McCartney. • Restored by John McCartney, with the work completed by BRM mechanics Peter Bothamley and Pat Carvath using components and works spares collected over the preceding years through Alec Stokes and ‘Wilkie’ Wilkinson at BRM. • Having passed through the ownership of noted collectors John Foulston, Dr. Thomas Bscher, Ray Bellm and Vijay Mallya, 2612 returned to the track in the ownership of David Wenman with Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams at the wheel, taking victory in the Glover Trophy at the 2007 Goodwood Revival. • In the current ownership, 2612 has been maintained at Hoole Racing and is a multiple veteran of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix and Goodwood Revivals along with various HGPCA races including at Spa, Zandvoort and the Silverstone Classic. • A stunning example of BRM’s iconic P261, their most successful Formula 1 model with the glorious 1.5 litre BRM P56 V8 engine, 2612 will be at the forefront of any selection process to race at some of the best historic events such as the Monaco Historic Grand Prix in May 2021.

  • The Three Lifes of the BMW Baron on 22 May BMW Engineer Alexander Von Falkenhausen Would Have Celebrated His 100Th Birthday
    Media Information 18 May 2007 The three lifes of the BMW Baron On 22 May BMW engineer Alexander von Falkenhausen would have celebrated his 100th birthday Munich. As a racing competitor, designer and test driver, Baron Alexander von Falkenhausen had a greater influence on the history of BMW than almost any other man. On 22 May 2007 he would have been 100 years old. Von Falkenhausen joined Bayerische Motoren Werke in 1934. He began as a race rider and designer in the motorcycle division and then switched to car racing. After the war he had a spell as an independent manufacturer of racing cars, but in 1954 returned to BMW where he headed the motor racing division. From 1957 onward he additionally had overall responsibility for engine development. In 1976 von Falkenhausen retired as the oldest member of the company’s staff. He died on May 28th 1989 at the age of 92 in his hometown, Munich. At first glance Alexander von Falkenhausen might have seemed like a man of artistic temperament. But his modest demeanour, his alert mind and his unparalleled versatility propelled him into a unique career as an engineer and manager. He was respectfully dubbed “Lord of the Blue and White” or “Baron BMW”. Motorcycle racer and designer Born in Munich’s bohemian Schwabing district, the young Alexander von Falkenhausen grew up in a military family. But instead of embarking on an officer’s career, the 17-year-old high-school boy mounted a DKW motorcycle in 1924 and scored his first racing success by coming second in a local hill-climb event.
