Pale green livery as #6 = Moss, 1959 British GP, 2nd place. "BRP entered Stirling Moss in two Grand Prix races during 1959. BRM tried to recruit Stirling to drive their P25 but he wasn't comfortable with BRM's team management. Alfred Moss negotiated a deal where Stirling would drive a loaned P25 in BRP livery and be maintained and entered by BRP. Stirling was disqualified at the French Grand Prix, but finished 2nd two weeks later at the British Grand Prix. A schedule conflict prevented him from driving the P25 at Berlin in the German Grand Prix, so Hans Herrmann drove it instead and had a spectacular accident. The P25's rear brake was installed on its propshaft where it received acute vibration, severing a brake pipe and causing total brake failure. The car was written off, ending the agreement between BRM and BRP." - http://www.britishracecar.com/KurtDelBene-BRP.htm |
