BRM (Great Britain) 1951, 1956-1977
Principals: Raymond Mays, Alfred Owen, Louis Stanley.Base: Bourne, Lincolnshire.
Founded: 1945.
British Racing Motors was founded as a trust by Raymond Mays to help establish Britain as a major force in motor racing - follow up to his earlier ERA set-up. The first V16 supercharged car was over ambitious and didn''t appear at the circuits until 1950. The trust was taken over by Alfred Owen (of Rubery Owen) in 1952, and success gradually came, culmination in winning the drivers'' and constructors championships in 1962. Louis Stanley took control in the later years as BRM slowly ceased to exist as a racing operation, finally closing its doors in the 70s.
