Bourne’s BRM F1 Team Wins at Monaco Not once, but Five Times

This photograph, taken at Monaco in 1963, shows Graham Hill and his BRM ahead of

Clark in a Lotus followed by Ritchie Ginther, also in a BRM, and John Surtees in a Ferrari. They are leaving what was then called the Station Hairpin. (Photographer not known).

Bourne’s BRM Formula One Team regularly left the town to go to Monaco to take part in its annual Grand Prix. In the years, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1972, the team returned with the Winner’s Trophy. For the first three of those victories the team’s driver was Graham Hill who also won the World Championship in 1962, along with the BRM Team. In 1966 BRM’s winning driver was Jackie Stewart. BRM’s driver in

1972 was the French Champion, Jean-Pierre Beltoise. That was to be the team’s last Grand Prix victory. Sadly BRM ceased racing in 1976.

Not a bad record for a motor racing team from Lincolnshire and, in particular, a small market town such as Bourne.
