Recently I'm interested in sportscar racing and now I found Cadillac designer Nigel Stroud designed some F1 cars as well. I searched he designed some like Hesketh 308E and ATS D3... Does anyone know other chassis designed by Stroud? Sportscar indos are also welcomed:)

Thanks in advance,

Tomoko

Nigel has mainly worked in Sportscars!
Also did several designs for Mazda.

Here are some that he has been involved in :

Argo JM16 (GTP)from 1983 in cooperation with Jo Marquart.
Royale RP40 (C2) from 1985 also with Marquart.
Mazda 757 (C2) from 1987.
Mazda 767 (C1) from 1988.
Mazda 787 (C1) from 1991.

Nigel Stroud may have worked on the 308E, but it was designed by Frank Dernie. However, he did design the part-built BS Fabrications F1 car, which was discussed a while ago:

From my personal data, Stroud was, apart from the cars already mentioned, involved with the following cars:
-Lotus 88/88B (but I'm not sure)
-His involvement with the Lloyd porsche started as early as 1984 (Honeycomb tub and revised aerodynamics)
-Nissan R391 (1999 open sportscar)
-Reynard 2KQ LM
-Panoz GTR-1
-TVR Cerbera GT2 (1995)
That's all I can add.

As well as the Mazdas which were run by Alan Docking didnt Nigel Stroud do some chassis work on the Docs Toleman F2 cars in 1982?

I first met Nigel when he was with Hesketh Racing where he was aka "Ferret".
