Topic: Onyx (racing team)


  
  F1 : Onyx Info Page
Initially the former F3000 teams entry into F1 was backed by Belgian Jean-Pierre van Rossem of the Moneytron investment company, however when Moneytron ran into financial difficulties during the 1989 season the team was sold.
With only small changes being made to the previous years design the team struggled to make the grid and on the few occasions it did, the lack of experienced race engineers meant the car was uncompetitive and unreliable.
The Hungarian GP was the teams final appearance before Monteverdi closed the doors.

The third race was pretty ok. We were in the top league the whole race and finish just second but the leading boat had a DNS and got disqualified, making us to the winner again!
Lidingö Runt, Stockholm: It was the first race this season, and we thought we had a pretty good chance of making a good result, even though we haven’t had so much time for training and preparation and sailing with one new team member.
We could finish the race without any injures but the boat is not particularly nice and unfortunately we lost all the positions we had managed to take during the upwind.

  Onyx (racing team) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onyx was a motor racing team and later Formula One constructor from Britain, founded by Mike Earle and Jo Chamberlain.
The team was initially funded by the colourful Jean-Pierre Van Rossem and his Moneytron product, but van Rossem's backing proved to be illusory.
After van Rossem's departure, Onyx was owned by the Middlebridge Group (also owners at that time of Brabham) and then sold to Swiss businessman and car manufacturer Peter Monteverdi, who renamed the team after himself.

Onyx, a Doberman Pincher, has the distinction of having the 20,000 point title named after her, called the "The Onyx Award".
Unfortunately, due to ongoing health problems, Onyx had to be put down a couple of days after Clyde’s death and was buried with her beloved owner.
She started her racing career before the point system was administered by NAFA and would have probably been well over 50,000 if she had gotten points during her entire flyball career.
