Once again, the motor racing world has lost some of its most esteemed citizens. After the tragic deaths of Dries van der Lof and André Milhoux earlier in the year, Paco Godia and Tony Brooks were sadly killed in separate accidents during last week's Scottish Grand Prix.

-Amidst rumours that Team Lotus could withdraw from the sport, Trintignant and team boss Colin Chapman were injured in the Scottish Grand Prix. Impressive rookie Masten Gregory agreed to step into the car, alongside Australian Lex Davison, who happened to be present in Silverstone.
-Irishman Joe Flynn was also injured in Edinburgh, meaning that the third IRC Lancia will be entered by William Lacy, alongside Titterington and Hamilton.
-Following the senseless death of Tony Brooks, B.C.M.A. decided to obtain permission from Climax and Connaught to hire Stuart Lewis-Evans for the remainder of the season. Former Vanwall driver Cliff Allison will replace Lewis-Evans at Connaught.
-An administrative mishap caused the BRM engine used by Jack Fairman to be retained by BRM, prompting Owen Racing Organisation to borrow Vanwall's spare engine.
-At Gordini, Jo Bonnier inherits the fourth Type 56 after his point scored in Edinburgh. Red Gallagher is demoted to driving the 1953 model.
-After Ninian Sanderson failed to qualify the Ecurie Ecosse Cooper in Edinburgh, Ivor Bueb will be driving the car in Silverstone.
-As previously mentioned, following Paco Godia's fatal accident, Ferrari have decided not to bring a fourth car, keeping to a three-car operation for Fangio, Gaze and Maglioli.
-Giulio Cabianca returns with Reatherson, after the team skipped the Scottish Grand Prix.
-BRUNEL once again change their engine, hiring an old Jaguar powerplant to replace their own Jag and Porsche.
-Following Harry Schell's injury in Edinburgh, Cooper's second car will now be driven by Olivier Gendebien.
-After bringing only one car to the previous two races, BRM now have a three-car operation for Ron Flockhart, Paul Frère and Tony Rolt, driving the AAC 555 that hadn't appeared for months.
-Asso di Fiori, after their embarrassing mistake of arriving to Wicklow during the Scottish weekend, will finally be competing again for the first time since Spa.
-Scared by the smaller grid size, Escuderia Hernandez decided not to make the trip to to Silverstone.
-Horace Gould will also not be attending his home race, unable to get the Hernandez repaired in time.
-Following the rather underwhelming performance by Kuznetsov in Edinburgh, the Soviet team have not appeared. It is not known whether or not they plan to appear again.

As only 22 drivers will be allowed to start the race, a prequalifying session will be held, with the following 19 drivers competing.

Lex Davison
Bill Lacy
Bob Gerard
Jack Fairman
Jo Bonnier
Ivor Bueb
Umberto Maglioli
Bruce Halford
Paul Emery
Maria Teresa de Filippis
Jim Russell
Ron Flockhart
Tony Rolt

Prequalifying results
1. Troy Ruttman (O.S.C.A.) - 1:44.19
2. Umberto Maglioli (Ferrari) - 1:45.09
3. Jo Bonnier (Gordini) - 1:46.86
4. Bill Lacy (Lancia) - 1:49.34
5. Stuart Lewis-Evans (B.C.M.A.) - 1:49.44
6. Dorino Serafini (Ferrari) - 1:51.50
7. Ivor Bueb (Cooper-Climax) - 1:51.59
8. Lex Davison (Lotus-B.C.M.A.) - 1:51.69
9. Jim Russell (Vanwall) - 1:51.80
10. Paul Emery (Vanwall) - 1:52.00
11. André Guelfi (O.S.C.A.) - 1:52.23
12. Roy Salvadori (Vanwall-O.S.C.A.) - 1:53.03
13. David Hampshire (Vanwall) - 1:54.07
14. Bob Gerard (Connaught-Climax) - 1:55.90
15. Jack Fairman (O.S.C.A.-Vanwall) - 1:55.96
16. Bruce Halford (Vanwall-Bentley) - 1:56.03
17. Maria Teresa de Filippis (O.S.C.A.-Jaguar) - 1:56.11
18. Tony Rolt (AAC) - 1:56.30
19. Ron Flockhart (BRM) - 1:58.55


No real surprise in terms of the top teams all making through. The two 'outsiders' who make the cut are Dorino Serafini in the Adriatica Ferrari and Ivor Bueb in the Ecurie Ecosse Cooper, both of whome outpaced Lex Davison in the Lotus. Similarly expectedly, both BRM drivers took the bottom spots.

Paul Emery almost pulled off a brilliant upset, coming within just 0.31 seconds of outpacing Lex Davison, but otherwise, no real surprises occurred.

The post in question was quite vague. I assumed you were referring to the Jaguar engine you were renting as per your deal with Lotus.

Either way, your usual engine is slower than the one you used here. If you want me to edit the entries and modify the prequalifying times accordingly, feel free to tell me.

To be honest, with that number of entries, I was expecting to DNQ anyway. And it's nice to have a bit more info as to how my equipment compares to others!

Alas, it is a double-DNPQ for H. A. R. T. although Paul Emery showed signs of real quality.

I really hope that is not the end of financial solvency for us!

Jack Brabham establishes himself as clear favourite with a fourth dominant pole position, though main rivals Titterington and Collins will line up alongside him. Reg Parnell, Giulio Cabianca and Onofre Marimón will make the grid as the only drivers for non-top teams. Mike Hawthorn suffers from recurring technical issues causing him not to set a time.

October 7th 1956, British Grand Prix

Peter Collins got the best start at the front and led the first lap, which didn't see very many position changes. Brabham and Sanesi began dropping backwards, Brabham down to fourth place behind Collins, Titterington and González. On the third lap, González made a mistake at Chapel corner, catching out Brabham. Taking advantage of the confusion, Umberto Maglioli passed both to take third place for Ferrari. However, he couldn't keep up the pace, falling behind Volonterio, Brabham and a charging Bonnier. Collins started to get caught by Titterington and Volonterio, but responded by setting fastest lap. Meanwhile, Maglioli reacted to his drop down the field by picking up the pace, passing Ruttman and Brabham.

On lap 9, Volonterio passed Titterington for second place and started to pull away. Surprised by this, Titterington began to push, but disrupted his rhythm. He made a mistake at Abbey and span out of the race, throwing the title fight wide open. Ottorino Volonterio retired soon after with a clutch failure, rendering the battle pretty much moot. This left Collins with a shrinking lead ahead of Umberto Maglioli, who had just passed Brabham. González retired from fifth place soon after, reducing the O.S.C.A. ranks to Ruttman in sixth and Moss in ninth. Maglioli and Brabham were fighting hard for second place, and catching Collins in the process. Feeling the pressure, Collins had an off-track excursion at Stowe on lap 21, allowing Brabham through into the race lead. Further back, Marimón's customer O.S.C.A. pulled up by the track side with a clutch failure. A few laps later, Moss joined him, with a gearbox failure.

Passing Collins was a liberation for Brabham, who pulled away, while Maglioli and Collins failed to keep up. Maglioli slowly pulled up to Collins, surprising everyone by continuing his impressive performance from qualifying. As Maglioli pushed Collins, the Brit picked up the pace as well, catching Brabham on lap 37 and setting a new fastest lap in the process. Despite the Australian's best efforts, Collins took the lead back on lap 46. Giulio Cabianca became the sixth driver to retire, with transmission failure, on the 47th lap. Five laps later, Troy Ruttman's clutch failed, ending the race early for the O.S.C.A. contingent. On lap 54, Brabham took the lead again, but Collins and Maglioli started to catch him once more. 4 laps later, Collins was in the lead again.

Jo Bonnier sadly retired from a promising fourth place with an oil leak on lap 62. Maglioli, at this point, was aggressively attacking Brabham for second place, but simply couldn't find a way past. Brabham responded by pulling away, catching and passing Collins for the lead on lap 69. On the following lap, Maglioli also passed Collins, taking second place, only for Collins to take the place back the following lap, and for Maglioli to take the advantage again on lap 72! Consalvo Sanesi pulled up by the side of the track at Club, having run out of fuel. As Collins fell behind, Maglioli attempted to pass Brabham once again, but despite the Italian's best efforts, Jack Brabham pulled off some of the best defensive driving in the sport's history to win his third race of the season and take the championship lead! Maglioli, undoubtedly the quickest driver of the day, finished a close second, with Collins third. In a close battle for fifth, Bira took two points despite a horrendous race, Tony Gaze took the final point, followed by Castellotti, Fangio, Gallagher and Gregory. Sanesi was classified in 12th place.

I suppose a desperately in debt H. A. R. T. could sell you all our Vanwall stock for 50 grand. One engine is damaged, hence the 15k discount

If Maserati desires to enter a second car at their home race, they can use one of ours. But i assume the transportation costs might be too high. Likewise, shareholder Brunel can use one of our cars in there as well. (this time without any rent prize or shady options, as Cooper itself will not travel to Italy)
All our drivers are available as well! And they're pretty good, considering we only got one DNQ all year!

Also i don't vote on calendars, i already bought one from BRM.
I don't know what i want and i want it now!

I suppose a desperately in debt H. A. R. T. could sell you all our Vanwall stock for 50 grand. One engine is damaged, hence the 15k discount

If I may recommend another option:

Guastalla can wait until 1957 to become a full time team, instead entering the Italian Grand Prix as a budget-less privateer. In this case, Halford would only loan its cars to Guastalla for a fixed sum of money. Guastalla would gain some experience without any potential adverse financial effects, and Halford would pick up some money while keeping the cars for next season.

Don't forget to enter Scuderia Alzani-Volpani for the Italian GP.

Alternatively, you could be a bit more in keeping with reality and have Guastalla hire something Italian. Ferrari has two 555 combinations available to rent for the Italian GP. As tommykl said, the net cost to you is zero this way. We would send you AAC chassis 11 + 12 & engines 11 + 12 for your two drivers to run with.

Since Connaught will not be entering the Italian GP, they would be happy to offer you both of their 2 cars for rent for 1 race equipped with either a Bentley or a Climax engine. It will cost money, but if you are interested we will discuss this further privately about the cost.

Scuderia Arzani-Volpani
I think it was Piotti in the AAC car. I've been on too many trains today and can no longer keep track

Given Perdisa has 2 + 7, we will send your team Chassis 1 + Engine 1 instead.
