Is there anybody who can tell me what DW in DW Racing Enterprises stands for? Bob Anderson entered his cars under that name between 1963 and 1967.

We have battered this topic around before and I don't think we ever got an answer! It was actually "D.W. Racing Enterprises, Ltd." of which he and his wife (and daughter?) were the directors. I still haven't come across anything "obvious" so......

I think Paul Hawkins was entered too by DWRE, in 1965 F1 races.

According to this web-site, DW Racing Enterprises entered cars for both Anderson and Hawkins from 1963 to 1967.

No information as to what the DW stood for.

I'm told that it was Dudley Ward, a motorcylcle entrant who presumably had some connection with Bob in his 2-wheeled days. Other than that, I don't know.

Presumably Alan J Dudley-Ward, whose existence is confirmed here:- http://www.iommgp.co...sp?Ride_id=5545 but unfortunately no information.

"Monty and Dudley Ward" [with Geoff Monty] were motorbike dealers in South East London who entered and ran the winning BSA Victor 441 in the 1969 Montjuich 24 hours [?] endurance race

Wasn't a BSA Victor 441 a moto cross bike, like we used to watch on a cold Saturday afternoon. Jeff Smith riding, Murray commentating? No lights, and very uncomfy for 24 hours.
I'm no bike expert, mind.

I'm definitely no bike expert either but I did ride round on a road version with lights. it was a unit-construction single; a big Starfire but quite nice and 'cobby' and torquey.
If anyone's remotely interested it looked a bit like this

Oh, and I'm enough of a bike non-expert to confirm with absolute certain authority that they were ALL very uncomfy for 24-hours
