The Jack Brabham Trophy Race October 24th 1971 Brands Hatch.

[LDM]

Following a conversation and seeing a film of the race again, I am trying to find out as much as I can about this event, Drivers and Cars.

I know the cars were driven by some of the F1 Team managers, and Jack Brabham won the race in the red Ford Escort MK1 Mexico Reg Number HLA 210K. I also believe that the pit crews were made up from drivers of the time?

What I have discovered so far is that the practice times were:

Jack Brabham – 65.0
Colin Chapman – 65.4
John Surtees – 65.6
Max Mosley – 66.0
Phil Kerr – 66.4
Frank Williams – 66.6
Mike Costin – 66.8
Eric Broadley - 67.0
Jackie Epstein – 67.2
Ken Tyrrell – 67.4
Ed Nelson – 67.4
Doug Hardwick – 67.8
Alan Rees – 69.6
Ian Williams – 69.6
Tim Parnell – 74.8

Which I assume determined the starting grid and the finishing order appears to be:
1. Jack Brabham (Red) – 11m 08.6s
2. JohnSurtees (White) – 11m 11.2s
3. Colin Chapman – 11m 11.4s
4. Frank Williams (Yellow)– 1m 16.2s
5. Max Mosley – 11m 18.0s
6. Phil Kerr – 11m 24.4s
7. Mike Costin
8. Jackie Epstein
9. Doug Hardwick
10. Edward Nelson
11. Eric Broadley
12. Ken Tyrrell
13. Ian Williams
14. Alan Rees
15. Tim Parnell
FL. Colin Chapman – 1m 05.2s

There seems to be a bit of info to be found about Jack Brabham's car but nothing about the others? From what I understand they were provided by Ford and were licensed for the road with similar number plates?

From the film it seems there were at least red, yellow and green cars in use, were there any other colours in the race?

If anybody has any more information or can help it would be greatly appreciated.
