The BRM Story Volume 2 - Michl Technik

The BRM story began in 1947 with the formation of the British Motor Racing Research Trust under the guidance and driving force of Raymond Mays aided by leading figures in the British manufacturing industry. Their aim - to build a Grand Prix car that would put Britain well and truly in th ecentre of the motor racing map. Post-war Britain's racing contingeny were hungry for success and BRM's lack of accomplishment attracted unreasonable derision from spectators and backers alike. However, once relieved Grand Prix pressures (after GP status had been conferred upon Formula 2) and constant boardroom directives, BRM finally began to benefit from the inspiring influence of Alfred Owen.
