John Player (British) Formula Atlantic Series Race

Silverstone, 4 May 1975

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

Notes on the cars:

1. Chevron B27 [27-74-06] (Derek Cook): Chevron build record says an Opert team car, initially used in European F2 races by Bertil Roos. Also used in UK Atlantic races and then shipped to the US after the Hockenheim F2 race. Sold to Derek Cook, 1975. Interestingly, this car seems to have the bodywork run by Roos in European F2 in 1974. By 1976, when the B29 is sold to Rossiter, this B27 is the one car that Cook retains and he keeps it until at least 1977, using it in ShellSport G8 races.
2. Chevron B27 [27-74-14] (Peter Munro): Chevron build record says sold to Derek Cook, August 1974. Hugh Munro’s car is described in Autosport report of John Player Atlantic round at Mallory Park, 9 March 75 as "ex Derek Cook", so Cook’s late 1974 chassis (Autosport 13 Mar 1975 p26). The race report for the support race at the British GP meeting, 1975, says that Munro loaned the car back to Cook after he had wrecked his "new" 73B against Val Musetti’s car. In the race Cook managed to hit Musetti again, on the approach to Beckett’s on lap one... Found in France and now being restored in UK.
