Rondel Racing
Encyclopedia
Rondel Racing was a British racing team that competed in the Formula Two
series between 1971 and 1973. The team was founded by two ex-Brabham mechanics Ron Dennis
and Neil Trundle. Rondel won five European Championship
races before being forced to close down in 1973 due to lack of funding following the withdrawal of sponsor Motul
.
At the end of the 1970 Formula One season, driver and team owner Jack Brabham retired from the sport and sold his shares in the Brabham team to Ron Tauranac
. Jack Brabham's chief mechanic, Ron Dennis
and his deputy, Neil Trundle, decided to form their own racing team. Dennis and Trundle started the team with just £1,000, and the Brabham BT36 cars initially used by the team were bought on hire purchase from Tauranac. The name Rondel, came from the first name of Ron Dennis and a corruption of the last three letters of Trundle's name. Rondel were based in Old Windsor
, Berkshire
.
For their first season the team attracted two-time Formula One World Champion Graham Hill
, who was impressed with the professionalism and attention-to-detail shown by the team. He was joined by his Brabham Formula One team-mate Tim Schenken. Trundle was responsible for preparing Schenken's car whilst Dennis prepared Hill's car. At the teams first race at Hockenheim
, Hill won his heat and came second to François Cevert
overall. Hill secured Rondel their first outright victory only a week later in the second round of that year's European Formula Two Championship at the BARC 200 event, held at Thruxton
in the UK. Schenken achieved three second places finishes during the season. Mid-season the team entered a third car, driven by Bob Wollek
. Wollek qualified for two races, achieving a best finish of sixth position. Due to his Formula One success, Hill had an 'A' grading, and was unable to score championship points in the races. Schenken and Wollek however were, with Schenken finishing in fourth place in the championship and Wollek in 20th.
agreed to sponsor the team from the 1972 season onward. Tim Schenken
, Rondel's highest scoring driver in 1971, remained with the team but due to two points finishes in the Formula 1 World Championship the previous season he was given an 'A' grading and was therefore unable to score points. Bob Wollek also remained with the team and Carlos Reutemann
joined from Automóvil Club Argentina. Initially, it was intended Reutemann would compete full time in the F2 series with Rondel, while the works Brabham Formula 1 team would draft him in when the race weekends did not clash. However from the middle of the season Brabham fielded a third car allowing Reutemann to contest all the remaining F1 races causing him to miss the F2 race at Albi, France. Even so, he finished the championship in fourth position, equaling Tim Schenken's achievement for the team the previous season. Williams Formula One driver Henri Pescarolo
drove occasionally for the Rondel team, in part due to Motul
's title sponsorship of both Williams and Rondel, and it was Pescarolo that gave the team their first victory of the season at the eleventh round held at Pergusa
. Schenken gave the team their other victory in the championship finale in Hockenheim
.
M1 which was named for the team's sponsor. Up to five Motul
M1's were fielded by the team in a race and as early as the round two of the championship, the car was victorious. Pescarolo won the race, with Wollek in second giving Rondel their first one-two finish. Partway through the 1973, the team moved to a new factory in Feltham, Middlesex.
Rondel's final victory came at the Norisring where Tim Schenken won the race, with team-mates Tom Pryce and Henri Pescarolo in second and third position. The 1973 season saw a complicated points structure used, where races were divided into basic and complementary races with only a driver's first result from complementary races held in the same country eligible for points. This meant Tom Pryce was not awarded points for his second place finish at the Norisring, having competed in a previous complementary race in Germany at the Hockenheimring.
At end of 1973 season, Motul
withdrew their sponsorship due to financial difficulties caused by the 1973 oil crisis
forcing Rondel to wind up operations.
for the 1974 season before it was sold to Safir Engineering
who ran it for some events in the 1975 season.
Ron Dennis would go onto to form three more racing teams, the last of which, Project 4, merged with McLaren putting Dennis in control of the F1 team. As of 2008, Dennis has led McLaren to seven Formula One World Constructors Championships and ten World Drivers Championships.
Neil Trundle moved to Token
to run their Formula One
car before moving to Tyrrell
to work on their six-wheeled P34
car. Trundle rejoined Dennis at his Project 4 team in 1977 and remained there during the merger with McLaren. As of 2008, Trundle is still at McLaren.
