Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Rollinson's car is a lash up. Probably the ex Coombs 722-45, which he raced twice, otherwise the ex Coulon 74B. Rollinson actually retired in 74 after racing the Coombs car and realising he was on a hiding to nothing.

Some of the gaps on 732, though I await correction and addition:
1: Works Beltoise [Mallory]; Stuck; occasional spare for Jarier -> 1976 John Calvert, tub then to Geoff Friswell, written off in practice accident at Gold Cup meeting Sept 76, which I witnessed, and replaced with a 742 tub.

2: Not known either this or 3 is the Hiromu Tanaka car
3: Not known perhaps Tanaka
4: Brambilla brothers, kept by them at least till 76 and used as hire car for Italian F2 races
5: Brambilla bros 1975: Max Bonin [France] at least until 76
6: Works Jarier
7 Works Coulon. This number given to Laurent Ferrier's car in 77 by F1R
11 was kept by Gubelmann at least until mid 76. He had a big accident at the Mallory hairpin with Mike Wilds and received bad head injuries. I don't think he ever raced again, and I don't know what happened to the car. It was quite a low speed accident, so I doubt that it was destroyed in the shunt.
14: Wheatcroft for Roger Williamson. 1975: Luis de Almenara

Interesting that you have 12 as Joliat's car. F1R ascribe this to Coulon from mid season and put Joliat in 16
