CISITALIA

TEAM: CISITALIA
NATIONALITY: I
INCEPTION: 1952-1952
COMMENT: Cisitalia was an Italian sports and racing car constructor. The name "Cisitalia" derives from "Consorzio Industriale Sportive Italia," a business conglomerate founded in Turin in 1946 and controlled by the wealthy industrialist and sportsman Piero Dusio. Dusio participated in a single World Championship Grand Grix, driving a Cisitalia D46.

1952 Piero Dusio I NIL (Dusio tried but failed to qualify for one Formula One World Championship grand prix (Italy 1952) with a Cisitalia D46, but he failed to set a time in practice due to engine problems. He raced in the Buenos Aires Grand Prix in 1954, and also started Cisitalia Argentina Industrial y Comercial SA, planning cars such as the Cisitalia 750 (1960). Dusio was an Italian soccer player, businessman and racing driver. He died at Buenos Aires in 1975.)

COLONI

TEAM: COLONI
NATIONALITY: I
INCEPTION: 1987-1991
COMMENT: Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems, commonly referred to simply as Coloni, is an Italian motor racing team and former Formula One racing car constructor. While it has been successful in Formula Three and Formula 3000, the team was one of the least successful in Formula One history. The tiny team never had appropriate human, financial or technical resources, sometimes consisting of as few as five members. Coloni was the 'works' team for Subaru during 1990. From 1987 to 1991, the Coloni team made 82 attempts to take part in a Formula One race but only qualified 14 times. On the five occasions when a Coloni car finished a race, no points were scored.

CONNAUGHT

TEAM: CONNAUGHT
NATIONALITY: GB
INCEPTION: 1952-1959
COMMENT: Connaught Engineering, often referred to simply as Connaught, was a Formula One and sports car constructor from Britain. Their cars participated in 18 Grands Prix, entering a total of 52 races with their A, B, and C Type Grand Prix Cars. They achieved 1 podium and scored 17 championship points. The name Connaught is a pun on Continental Autos, the garage in Send, Surrey, which specialised in sales and repair of European sports cars such as Bugatti, and where the cars were built.

YEAR NAME NAT. POINTS/RESULTS
Connaught-
1952 Dennis Poore GB 13th (3 pts.) Later in life Poore sold off the propeller business from Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC and used the funds in an attempt to stave off the collapse of the British motorcycle industry. At one time iconic brands Norton, AJS, Matchless and BSA were all owned by the Manganese Bronze group. Following the collapse of the Birmingham Small Arms Co (BSA) in 1973 the motorcycle interests of Manganese Bronze and BSA were put into Norton Villiers Triumph Ltd, and the non-motorcycle interests of BSA were bought by Manganese Bronze. With the purchase of BSA came its subsidiary Carbodies, builder of the FX4 London taxi; the classic "black cab". After disposing of the motorcycle manufacturing arms, Poore continued to head Manganese Bronze as a taxi and component manufacturer until his death in 1987.
1952 Eric Thompson GB 18th (2 pts.) After retiring from the track he concentrated on his work at Lloyd's, before switching careers to become a dealer in rare motoring literature.

1955 Peter Walker
1955 Tony Rolt GB NIL (Retired from F.1. Rolt competed in every 24 Hours of Le Mans race from 1949 to 1955, famously winning the 1953 event in a Jaguar C-Type shared with Duncan Hamilton. He was the last surviving driver from the inaugural World Championship Grand Prix held at Silverstone; also the last pre-World War II member of the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC), having been elected in 1936. He retired from racing in 1955 and concentrated on his work with Ferguson Research Ltd. In 1971 he founded FF Developments. He was instrumental in the development of early four wheel drive systems for racing cars; also for production cars such as the Jensen FF. He died at the age of 90 in 2008.)

1956 Ron Flockhart GB 14th (4 pts.) (Owen Racing BRM)
1956 Archie Scott-Brown GB NIL (Known for his courageous driving style, he was often to be seen in corners getting his Lister very sideways indeed. Asked about the possibility of the Lister's notoriously poor brakes failing completely, he responded that he would "carry on without them, old boy". Over the few years he was in the sport he developed a fierce but good-natured rivalry with rising American driving talent Masten Gregory. He was mortally injured on 18 May 1958 during an accident in a sports car race at Spa-Francorchamps. He died in hospital the following day, less than a week after his 31st birthday.)

Connaught-
1958 Bernie Ecclestone GB NIL (He became the president and CEO of Formula One Management (FOM) and Formula One Administration and owns a stake in Alpha Prema, the parent company of the Formula One Group of companies. As such, he is generally considered the primary authority in Formula One racing. He is most commonly addressed in tabloid journalism as "F1 Supremo". His early involvement in the sport was as a competitor and then as a manager of drivers Stuart Lewis-Evans and Jochen Rindt. In 1972 he bought the Brabham team, which he ran for fifteen years. As a team owner he became a member of the Formula One Constructors Association. His control of the sport, which grew from his pioneering the sale of television rights in the late 1970s, is chiefly financial, but under the terms of the Concorde Agreement he and his companies also manage the administration, setup and logistics of each Formula One grand prix. Ecclestone attempted to compete in two Grand Prix races during the 1958 season but failed to qualify for either of them. He is also the co-owner of Queens Park Rangers Football Club. He has had a heart attack, a triple by-pass, been investigated for money laundrying and business corruption. Flavio Briatore criticized FOM: "Nowadays Ecclestone takes 50% of all revenues, but we are supposed to be able to reduce our costs by 50%". The Sunday Times Rich List 2008 he ranks as the 24th richest person in the United Kingdom, with an estimated fortune of £2,400m.)
1958 Bruce Kessler USA NIL (Retired from F.1. Kessler went back to California and became a film director. He directed many TV movies and TV series. One of his earliest efforts was a short film he directed on the Scarab race car for his friend Lance Reventlow called The Sound of Speed. Kessler loved boats and sport fishing. He built a large fishing yacht, and is now retired in Florida.)
1958 Ivor Bueb GB NIL (Lotus-Climax Straight)
1958 Jack Fairman GB NIL (Cooper Coventry-Climax) His engineering experience and dependable driving made him an obvious choice for constructors to contact when they needed a test driver. His most significant contribution in this role was during the development of Connaught's Formula 2 and later F1 cars. Between sports car commitments and his own factory, Fairman managed to fit in occasional F1 starts, usually at the British or Italian Grands Prix. He took a Connaught Type B to two points finishes during the 1956 Formula One season, his only points in a very long F1 career, finishing tenth in the World Championship that year.
1958 Paul Emery GB NIL (Retired from F.1.)
Connaught-
1959 Bob Said USA NIL (He also made one NASCAR start, the 1959 Daytona 500 where he finished 50th after a transmission failure. Said was also a bobsled racer, competing in the Olympics twice, 1968 in Grenoble and in 1972 at Sapporo, Japan. Later he was the Executive Producer of a documentary entitled Mystery of the Sphynx. He died in Seattle, 2002, at the age of 70.)

CONNEW

TEAM: CONNEW
NATIONALITY: F
INCEPTION: 1972-1972
COMMENT: The Connew team was founded in 1970 by Peter Connew, who had formerly worked as a design engineer with the Surtees team. After a falling out with team principal John Surtees, Connew left the team to pursue designing his own car. A garage was rented in Chadwell Heath and the initial construction of the chassis jig began in December 1970. Connew was assisted by Roger Doran, who worked as a shopfitter, and Connew's cousin Barry Boor. The team adapted their F.1. techniques for Formula 5000.

COOPER

TEAM: COOPER
NATIONALITY: GB
INCEPTION: 1950-1969
COMMENT: The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. Together with John's boyhood friend, Eric Brandon, they began by building racing cars in Charles' small garage in Surbiton, Surrey, England in 1946. Through the 1950s and early 1960s, they reached auto racing's highest levels as their rear-engined, single-seat cars altered the face of Formula One and the Indianapolis 500, and their Mini Cooper dominated Rally racing. Thanks in part to Cooper's legacy, Britain remains the home of a thriving racing industry, and the Cooper name lives on in the Mini Cooper production cars that are still built in England but are now owned and marketed by BMW. After the death of his father, John Cooper sold the Cooper Formula One team to the Chipstead Motor Group in April, 1965. Their final Formula One victory was achieved by Mexican driver Pedro Rodríguez at the 1967 South African Grand Prix in a Cooper T81. In all, Coopers participated in 129 Formula One World Championship events in nine years, winning 16 races.

Peter Whitehead is notable as the first person to whom Enzo Ferrari ever sold a Formula One car : a Ferrari 125. He retired from F.1 and continued his racing career in sports cars. Whitehead's last great performance was at Le Mans in 1958 where he came second in an Aston Martin, sharing the driving with his half-brother Graham Whitehead. A couple of months later Peter and Graham were competing together in the Tour de France, when their Jaguar crashed off a bridge into a 30-foot ravine at Lasalle, after overturning twice, with Graham at the wheel.

Flockhart departed Sydney in the Mustang, registered G-ARKD, on 28 February 1961 and after several delays due to bad weather finally ended the attempt at Athens due to engine problems. Flockhart was to make a second attempt at the Sydney-London record.

COPERSUCAR FITTIPALDI

TEAM: COPERSUCAR FITTIPALDI
NATIONALITY: BR
INCEPTION: 1976-1982
COMMENT: Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar.

1980 Emerson Fittipaldi BR 5 pts. (15th) (After leaving F1 in 1980, Fittipaldi took time out from major racing for four years, returning in 1984 in CART. The 38-year old spent his first season acclimatising to IndyCars, driving for two teams before joining Patrick Racing as an injury replacement. He stayed five years with the team, recording six victories and solid finishes in the overall standings. In 1989 he had five wins and
finished in the top five in every race he completed, giving him a CART championship. Among his wins was a dominant performance in the Indianapolis 500 where he led 158 of 200 laps and won by two laps, but only after a dramatic duel with Al Unser, Jr. in the closing laps of the race. Approaching 50, he was still with Champ Car in 1996 when an injury at the Michigan International Speedway ended his career. Fittipaldi did not return to the series as a driver after the injury but in 2003 he made a return to Champcars as a team owner. In 2008, Emerson and his brother Wilson entered the Brazilian GT3 Championship, driving a Porsche 997 GT3 for the WB Motorsports team.
