Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Jeremy/Dan

Properly speaking discussion of the Agostini - Brill car should be on the B40-45 thread... But let's not have that here.
I think Brill was the slowest driver I ever saw in a race car [tho. Otto Stuppacher in his March 761 was close] you could have lapped him in an FF2000.

Anyway, here is the Chevron B42 summary to spark further debate:

Chassis 1: 1977: Works: Patrese (Japanese GP) 1978: Steve Millen (NZ) retained 1979; 1980 Bob Donaldson
Chassis 2: Works ICI: Riccardo Patrese/Derek Daly; 1979 perhaps to John Stokes (Described in 1980 ad as ex Daly); 1981 Patsy McGarrity
Chassis 3: Trivatello: Beppe Gabbiani
Chassis 4: Harald Ertl->Willi Siller (unraced) 1979: Willi Siller
Chassis 5: John David Briggs; 1979: Brian Robinson; 1980: Bob Howlings; 1981: Bob Howlings [though AS gives as 01 at Silverstone F2]; 1982: Stuart MacPherson [FL]
Chassis 6: Opert: Boy Hayje
Chassis 7: Everest: Elio de Angelis; unknown to 1981, then Bill Lord [Scotland]
Chassis 8: Works ICI: Derek Daly/Nigel Mansell; 1979: perhaps to Gary Gibson (FAt) (described in press as ex Daly) retained to 1981
Chassis 9: Works ICI: Jochen Mass/Patrick Tambay/Arturo Merzario/Giancarlo Martini/Jean-Pierre Jaussaud/Harald Ertl [Hockenheim]/My Aunt Edna; 1979: Germaine Garon/Herv é Regout
Chassis 10: Briggs: Don Briedenbach [F1R attribution but maybe the Cinotti car]
Chassis 11: Chevron didn’t usually build an 11 [but might be Cinotti’s car if 10 really does go to Briggs]
Chassis 12: Opert: Eje Elgh
Chassis 14: Trivatello: Giacomo Agostini; 1979 Ken Brill
Chassis 15: Opert: Keijo Rosberg; 1979: Phil Bennett then to Dave Rackham (FAt); 1980: David Mercer (FAt) retained 1981 then at some point to Antonia Loysen [FL]
Chassis 16: Briggs: John David Briggs; 1979: Warren Booth; 1980: Jim Evans
Chassis 17: Briggs; 1979 Brian Robinson retained to 1981
Chassis 18: Jack Kallay: Geoff Lees
Chassis 19: Briggs; 1979: Tony Dean/Brian Robinson; 1980: Brian Robinson
Said to be 21 built so these problem cars could be accommodated there:

Tomy Racing: Masahiro Hasemi [late season car, retained 1979]
Sandro Cinotti [debuts mid season after using a B40. May be the B40 updated; may be 10; 11 or a later number]

1979
Wayne Wainwright [British Atlantic]
John Stokes (Described in 1980 ad as ex Daly)
1980
Kiyoshi Misaki [appears Suzuka F.Pac with Toyota engine
Dave McMillan [appears Suzuka FPac with Nissan engine DNS]
