[quote=Great Dane]that is the picture with the five cars.... what is the link to RBR??? [quote]
Would the photo be of the Canadian GP - 19 September 1971?
Car number 31 P153/07 Helmut Marko finished 12th. in what MotorSport magazine called his first as a true "Works" driver after two "rent-a-car" entries for the team.
Would that be the chap who currently stands next to Vettel throughout the GP weekends?

spot on..
his F1 career was cut short when a stone pierced his visor and blinded him on one eye...
later he started a f3000 team and won the European Champ. with Jorg Muller - whose claim to fame is that he is the only F3000 champ not to get into F1

You don't need to wait for the next volume of "Saga" ! - in MotorSport April 1970 page 363 there is a photo of P153/02 at the South African GP. The car is in BRM's version of BRG with orange front and rear wings (but not nose).
The first use of the Yardley colours seems to be The Race of Champions, Brands Hatch on 22 March folowed by the Spanish GP 19 April. (MotorSport May 1970)
Interesting... I knew I'd seen it in the publicity shots previewing the 1970 season in green with orange wing tabs (which incidentally was long before I was born) but I also had a vague recollection of it having raced somewhere in those colours and thought it must have been Kyalami. I'm still waiting for Vol3 and Vol4. What am I supposed to do while I'm waiting?The first use of the Yardley colours seems to be The Race of Champions, Brands Hatch on 22 March folowed by the Spanish GP 19 April. (MotorSport May 1970)

It's a P153 I think and I don't believee it ever raced in green (possibly in the South African GP?) but I'm waiting for Doug Nye's Vol 3/4 for confirmation....
Here is the great little man...

people often forget he was also a highly accomplished sports car racer. winning le mans in '71 in a 917. Would that be the chap who currently stands next to Vettel throughout the GP weekends?

Just a note to compliment you on your website, as a fellow BRM supporter, who waited in vain all those years for that break through that never came in the 3 litre era, your efforts are superb and I have often checked up on types etc when thinking back on the past. Thanks very much!! Would the photo be of the Canadian GP - 19 September 1971?
