Yellow Pages Championship Round

Mallory Park, 30 Apr 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 BT21A [8] (Philip Guerola): Sold to Robert Lamplough 1967, with Lotus Ford t/c and used by him and Mike Walker. The car used by Bill Dryden in 1968/69, entered by Ecurie Ecosse, is described as ex Lamplough in press reports when it appears in Libre races. 1970 sold to Phil Guerola and used in Atlantic in 1971/72. On its first appearance in Atlantic the car is noted as "ex Ec. Ecosse" both by RAP in a programme note and AS 11 Mar 1971 pp32-33.
4. Wimhurst (Jack Paterson): Designed and built in 1972 by Len Wimhurst, the former Palliser designer. It was a monocoque design and intended for F2 but fitted with a BDA engine and used in F/Atlantic in 1972 and 1974 by Jack Paterson.
