Hi Folks,
I´m trying to built some slotcars of the Brabham BT 42, and now I have found a picture of a white car with #62. Can anybody tell me which race this was, and which driver?? This is the link to the picture, must be a Japanese site...

Are there any other cars known than the typical works-cars of Reutemann, Fittipaldi and de Adamich/Stommelen? And do you have pictures of it?
Thanks for your help

There were a bunch of privateers than ran BT42s in 1974 -- the John Goldie / Hexagon team for John Watson, Scuderia Finotto for Gerard Larrousse, Ian Ashley's Chequered Flag-entered car, Eppie Weitzes in the Team Canada entry, and Lella Lombardi in the Allied Polymer car bizarrely sporting race number 208.

Ihank You for the help.
I knew most of them but the Wietzes and Lombardi cars have the 74 body and frontspoiler.
The Goldie/Hexagon car would be very intersting. Can You tell me something about the colours? Looks like brown and dayglo red??
I don´t know exactly how the front of the Larrousse car was but I think the blue colours are also very intersting.
About Ashleys car I know nothing at all...

The Hexagon car was chocolate brown and orange. They couldn't have made it any more '70s unless they installed shag carpeting.

Unfortunately I don't think I've ever seen Ashley's car either.

It was number 208 because Lella was sponsored by Radio Luxembourg at that time.

Ashley failed to qualify for the Canadian and US GPs in 1974.

The car what primarily white; you can find a small b&w photo ny clicking here. The Ashley BT42 is the second-in from the left on the bottom row.

Some better photos of Eppie Weitzes' car are in there two - all taken by TNFer Mark Windecker

Thanks for that, I never saw that car before. Is that Chequered flag Racing on the front spoiler? Looks like. On the side there is another sponsor (or the name?) and I think I see a flag on the air intake. Can anybody help?
So now I have 7 different colour schemes for the Brabham, and I will start building the bodies next week. Lets see with which car I will start. I will post some pics here when I finish the first one.

Heh, i have Mark's photo site bookmarked for his great CART photos and didn't even think to look there for this question. He's also got this color photo in the same album.

I have a shot of Wattie in car 62, I'll post it tomorrow - from memory it's not great quality...

Yes, this one looks better than the version Twinny posted. With that big airbox the slotcar would turn over in every corner...
Now that I know that the #62 is from the RoC, I found another pic on racingsportscars.

If you are going to build Carlos Reutemann's car, don't forget the CAP logotypes. This was an argentinian meat company that was making some advertising in order to export those products to the world.

Have you seen this one?

It's Luigi Cevasco driving the ex-Finotto/Larrousse chassis at Mallory Park in 1976...

This is why I love this forum!
You guys are just incredible.
Starting with a little question about '62 now I have 8 different versions! And I must say I love the Ashley-version.
My positive form is almost finished, I think next week I´ll start with the silikone negative.
After such a quick help I have to accelerate my efforts a little bit...
