Team Gunston History

Post by zahistorics » Sun 28 Nov 2010, 03:20

I am starting to research Team Gunston history.

So far:
15 years, 30 cars, 27 drivers!

I am looking for any info at all if anyone can help please.
Race results, websites, programs, links anything will do.

Thanks

Hi John

Can you be more specific?. This is also my area of interest so it would be good to know what you have got / what you need. You talking F1, sports, saloons......?

I am looking at all of the orange cars Formula 1/2/Altlantic, Sports/GT and Saloons.

My starting point is a who drove what, when and where spreadsheet. To this I want to add any info, data, stories, articles - all welcome. I will be posting up a site http://www.teamgunston.org

I specially looking for some 'new' or more accurately different pictures rather the same ones that are recirculated on the net time and time again.

Team Gunston was quite a formidable team. They fielded an amazing number of cars and drivers between 1968 and the eighties. I have alredy dioscovered one new fact (to me anyway) is that one of the very first cars sponsored was a LDS-Repco Mk3B.

So far 36 different cars, 29 different drivers. They certainly helped keep Chevron in business: B16 spyder, 3 x B19, 2x B21, 2 (possibly 3) x B25, B26.

Allan, about 40 hours and counting on google, about the same amount of time on bing.com :D

Unfortunately, as great as the internet is, a lot of the same stuff just goes round and round reapeated from site to site.
