You may have seen our recent Newsletter about how we have ‘Carbon Captured’ our V16 Chassis IV’s emissions for the 2022 and 2023 activities. Sustainability is an important part of BRM’s “Re-Awakening” which is why we decided to use the FBHVC’s Carbon Capture scheme rather than the less sustainable ‘Carbon Offset” schemes many organisations use. Sustainability is much more complex than just ‘being green’ – for us; it is about balancing

The result was an innovative two-stage centrifugal supercharger derived from a Merlin engine. With a 6in diameter in
We’re delighted to announce that we have carbon balanced all of our 2022 and 2023 emissions for running our Chassis IV.

Today, I had the unique opportunity to photograph two of Britain’s iconic engineering feats together; the only UK based Avro Lancaster Bomber still in airworthy condition and the freshly completed BRM V16 Chassis IV. This Lancaster was built in 1945
As we Reawaken the BRM marque, we are all incredibly conscious of the role of the town of Bourne, and where the story started. The vision of Raymond Mays, the dedication and skills of those in the town, along with their tenacity, and the backing of Sir Alfred Owen and Rubery Owen, enabled British Motor Sport to be firmly established, with a legacy that continues in this small Lincolnshire market-town today. This time
On the 17th January 2023, The Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, hosted a very special evening with Sir Jackie Stewart OBE to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of BRM’s World Championship.

The 21st July marks 60 years since the 1962 British Grand Prix at Aintree, and the 5th August sees the celebration of the anniversary of the Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in the same year – undeniably two of the most crucial and intense races as BRM battled for victory that season.
