Yellow Pages Championship Round

Oulton Park, 18 Mar 1972

All cars are 1.6-litre F/Atl unless noted.

Notes on the cars:

1. Brabham BT35 [43] (Bob Salisbury): Sold to Bob Gerard for Bob Salisbury, October 1971. At Castle Combe 9 Oct 1971 the entry list has Salisbury in the Gerard team's BT30, but press reports say he uses a new BT35. Chassis number observed by Adam Ferrington on Salisbury's car at Oulton Park, 18 Mar 1972, and again at Oulton Park, 30 Sep 1972. Press reports sold to Harry Gilbert for 1973 season. Observed by Adam Ferrington on Harry Gilbert's car at Oulton Park, 7 Jul 1973.
2. Brabham BT29 [BT28-2] (Dick Barker): Delivered March 1969 to Clarke Mordaunt racing team for Mike Beuttler in UK F3 in 1969. To Jim Edwards for UK F3 in 1970. To Mike Stow for Formula Atlantic in 1971 when it was said to have been updated to BT29/35 specification. Sold to Dick Barker at the beginning of 1972 when it was said to have been “brought up to FB BT29 specification last year”. However, Motoring News identified Barker’s car as chassis number BT28-20 twice early in 1972 instead of BT28-2. BT28-20 was a different ex-Stow car with a clear history up to this point, implying MN's reporter made a mistake. Barker’s car was heavily damaged at Crystal Palace at the end of May 1972 and was not seen again. Barker advertised a “BT29/35” in Apr 1973 but the identity of that car is unknown.
3. Brabham BT35 [8] (Ed Reeves): Chassis number given for Ed Reeves's car in Autosport report of Arco Trophy race at Castle Combe, April 12, 1971, where the car debuts [AS 15 Apr 1971 p20]. Later run by Reeves for Dave Morgan, and retained into 1972 when it wins the Euro F2 round at Mallory Park, and Reeves uses it in Atlantic races. Sold to John Millard in Australia in 1973.
4. Brabham BT30 [10] (Bill Creasey): Sold new to Sports Motors for 1970 European F2 season and raced by Tim Schenken. Press reports at the start of 1971 have this car sold to Ian Bannen and entered by him for Cyd Williams in F2. Sold mid 1971 to Bill Creasy, and used in Libre races, mainly at Silverstone. Presumed to be the car raced occasionally in Atlantic by Creasy in 1971/72. Hill-climbed by Simon Riley in 1974.
