RAP should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thank you very much Adam. A couple of observations/questions.

713S - in July 71 BOTH Lee Kaye (entrant Peter Bloore) and David Morgan appeared together at a couple of meetings eg 1st Aug Thruxton. One was almost certainly the ex Hunt car but what of the other? The Morgan car is sometimes shown as a 713M.

713M By early September there seem to have been 10, maybe 11 cars active On the weekend of 12th per F1R Fact Book -
At Crystal Palace (most also at Brands next day) - Hunt, McInerney, Williamson, Walkinshaw (dna), Bisignano, Spitzley, Goss, MacDonald, Riley. Bond was entered at Brands but dna but he raced on both the preceding and subsequent weekends. The Walkinshaw car does not seem to have run after mid August, just about when both Spitzley and MacDonald appear so I guess one of these would be Walkinshaw's. So that looks like 9 cars active in UK. (+ P Bloore 713S) By the end of October Hurst is also out in a 713M so this makes 10 entered for 24 Oct Brands.(Hunt, McInerney, Hurst, Williamson, Bisignano, Bond, Goss, Spitzley, Riley. Macdonald)

You have one for Eifeland and certainly there are occaisionl entries for German drivers over the course of the year including a Dietmar Floehr who was a dna at Brands 24 Oct. One final mystery is that the Fact Book has both Floehr and Freddy Link at Monza in 713M but at Brands 24 Oct Link is shown as 712M I suspect this correct.

So, we have 9 for sure but probably 10 in UK + the German car.
