Jimmy, I'll track back and see if I can spot anything.

In the meantime the Lotus-Martin tested by Charles Lucas etc was a 35 Chassis.

It was raced at Mallory Park in the traditional Boxing Day Race meeting.

Further details on the Martin Engines tread. :cool:

Thanks to Jimmy, who gave me his kind permission, I added on my website a PDF file with the updated version of this list (and some more 1967 results).

Ciao,
Guido

From my website:

Honda testdrives, August 1967

On the wednesday or thursday before the German Grand Prix, the Honda Formula 1 team holds a test on the Südschleife. Testdriver is John Surtees. BMW is also present, testing their Formula 2 car with Hubert Hahne.

Surtees reportedly also drove the BMW.
