	Connacht - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Republic of Connaught" had a brief existence in 1798 with French military support.
		Medb (Medhbh, Maeve), Queen of Connacht in the Ulster Cycle.
		^ The spelling Connaught reflects the former English practice -- in Ireland, though not in Scotland -- of representing the Gaelic voiceless velar fricative /x/ as ugh (compare lough for loch), (u)gh having been used in Middle English for the same sound.

	Atlas F1 Magazine: Team Connaught: Remembrance of Things Fast (Part 2)
		Connaught Patron Ken McAlpine in A1 also won a race in the 1953 season at the West Essex CC F2 race on June 27th 1953 amongst some significant competition from John Combs in the newer A8 and Roy Salvadori in A7.
		One further significant race for Connaught was the Curtis Trophy held at Snetterton on October 17th 1953.
		It was wet and Salvadori retired his Connaught on the first lap and Ken McAlpine, who was driving his trusty A1 slid off the course on lap 8 and overturned A1 into an earthen bank, no doubt adding to the Patron's growing disenchantment with Team Connaught as the 1953 season came to an end.

	8W - What? - Connaught
		Connaught now decided to concentrate solely on the unstreamlined cars and in due course the streamliners were rebodied.
		Connaught's 1956 season came to an end with the BRDC F1 Race at Brands Hatch, where Scott-Brown led home Stuart Lewis-Evans, the by then undoubted king of Formula 3, in his first F1 race, while only Salvadori's Maserati in third prevented a whitewash, for Leston and Fairman were next up.
		As the race was happening, Brooks and Lewis-Evans, on one hand, and Phil Hill, on the other were all becoming locked into situations that involved giving aid to their respective team leaders rather than seeking to win the race themselves.

	Atlas F1 Magazine: Team Connaught: Remembrance of Things Fast (Part 1)
		Connaught's passage through this veil of tears is especially interesting because of when and how it happened and, as we shall see, its history is still in the making.
		But although Connaught was now eligible to compete at the highest level, because it lacked the resources of the Italian teams, Connaught participated mostly in non-Championship races in the UK and only in selected Championship Grands Prix.
		It should be understood that during this era, there were many non-Championship and club races in the course of a season, and by the end of 1952, Connaught had racked up a very respectable record in these settings of six first places, five seconds and two sixth places.

	Midland F1 Racing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		BRM was very much a racing team that had yet to undertake outside engineering projects, and suddenly Grand Prix racing was reliant upon small, specialist racing outfits such as the newly emergent Cooper and Lotus marques from Britain.
		The problem with the big factory teams was that they could afford to do a better job than the underfunded smaller teams -- particularly those such as France's Gordini or Britain's Connaught -- when it came to conventional car design.
		Toward the end of the decade, a movement began in which F1 racing car design would become so esoteric that it would be years before major manufacturers (with the exception of Ferrari) could come into the sport and compete on even terms.

	Grand Prix Cars - Connaught
		It is indicative of the far sightedness of Clarke that Connaught was the first Formula1 team to own their own wind tunnel.
		The story of what happened next is one of Grand Prix racing's greatest upsets, when an unknown British team found themselves facing a flotilla of Maseratis.
		The Maserati 250Fs of Musso, Schell and Villoresi were beaten and long after the sound of racing engines had died and all of the other teams and spectators had left the circuit, the tiny British contingent were still celebrating in the Connaught pit.

	Stirling Moss - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		His father Alfred was a prosperous and successful dentist who had raced as an amateur at Indianapolis during the 1920s, and his mother Aileen had been a keen rally competitor with a Marendaz car during the 1930s.
		In 1951 he was given the chance to race internationally in single- seaters by the struggling HWM team, whose finances were as brittle as the components that went into their cars.
		Had he driven for the Italian team in 1959, 1960 or 1961, the chances are that he would have won the title, but by then he was fast reaching the conclusion that the Championship crown was no accurate barometer of driving talent and the whole thing did not really matter anyway.

		Along the righthandside is a line of parked racing car transporters, one of which is the Dodge, although only the back end can be seen, with the Alfa a couple of positions further along, being worked on by the mechanics (Sten 'Tammy' Aberg and Bill Lawes).
		This article discussed the quandry facing owners of historic racing cars, and the extents to which they should be restored for racing or left in their untouched and totally original condition.
		There are some notable survivors, built later than the Dodge, that are now enjoying the spotlight at historic race meetings around the globe, the most famous of which is probably the supercharged 2 stroke Commer, as used by Ecurie Ecosse in the late 1950s to transport their D-Type Jaguars around to meetings.

		Before the Dutch Supercar Challenge race, the Racing Legends –Mini-like Hotrods- had been out on the track in the poring rain, the track is as wet as it ever has been.
		The Race Director (after some discussions) decided to allow these times since the track was drying up, so it was possible to improve the time.
		However the powers that be decided not to start the race behind the pace car, for a few laps whilst the weather maybe subsided,but started the race in appalling conditions.

		In 1954 racing was run clockwise so that Paddock Hill Bend became a daunting, downhill sweeping right-hander that was to become the stuff of legends and the circuit was widened by 5ft to 35ft.
		The leading four-wheeled events were the BOAC 500, the Race of Champions, the Guards Trophy and the Motor Show 200 and of course the two-yearly British Grand Prix.
		In 1980 motor racing history was made at the circuit when Desire Wilson became the first lady to win a Formula 1 race.

		This was reasonably successful but it was not until 1955, when Tony Brooks won the Syracuse Grand Prix in a Connaught that company looked to be going places.
		Sadly the team could not afford to mount a full works teams and could contest a handful of continental races each year.

	Ex- RAF WW2 Dodge VK Truck 1940
		Later on in its new life it was fitted with a hinged frame to the nearside bodywork, which hinges out and clipped to a pair of vertical support legs, over which a canvas cover would be rolled, this being rolled up and tied to the Dodge's roof when not required.
		The original headlamps were removed at some time in its life, being deemed not very effective (6v electrics still remain however) and were replaced with an expensive pair of Marchal lamps, one of which has been damaged some time ago, but for which I have a replacement 'in stock'.
		My Dodge still bears some of the hallmarks of its earlier, pre-racing, life, most notably in the varied selection of tyres that it still wears, a few of which are to original 1940s military pattern.
