This was one of the cars competing in the Force Pre-1972 Grand Prix Cars race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2002.
It's Luke Chapman's 1972 BRM P180, chassis number P180/02, driven in the race by Flavien Marçais. The P180 was intended to be a replacement for the P153 and P160 cars that had raced in the 1971 season, sharing the same 3 litre V12 engine. Only two cars were built, but were so uncompetitive that they were dropped at the end of the season,being replaced by updated versions of the P160.
On 14 June 2016 I showed a photograph of the other P180, chassis P180/01, taken at Silverstone in 1999.
