	1969 Levin
		Courage managed 46.3 sec, but looked faster, and Hill, whose car was still troublesome, managed 46.4 sec and was embarrassed by McRae who shadowed him through the twisty bits in his home-built car for lap after lap to be next qualifier with 47.0 sec.
		Courage made his bid to be front-runner and was nudging the Ferrari's tail after twenty laps, being some 5 sec clear of Bell, who had a loose exhaust and stopped soon after to remove it.
		Courage relegated himself to second, 15 sec behind Amon, with a spin on lap 32, but stayed 26 sec ahead of Bell who was just clear of Gardner.

	De Tomaso 505 F1 Season Review: 1970
		In the race, Courage fared little better and was running 15th when he locked the brakes and clouted a kerb.

	8W - Who? - Piers Courage
		Assigned to driving the car was Piers Courage, part of the eponymous brewer's dynasty and a gentleman racer whose talent stood out among his noble peers in motorsports.
		Piers became truly involved in motor racing when in a speed-addicts pub in South Kensington he met a guy called Jonathan Williams - the very same Jonathan Williams who was to receive an unexpected call-up from Ferrari in 1967.
		After their Spanish debut went unnoticed Piers and his Brabham truly came to the fore at the Monaco GP where the combination finished runner-up to Monaco king Graham Hill.

	1968 Australia Tasman Races
		Courage, getting the hurry-up message from Gardner, was right up Amon's pipes on the next lap just as Harvey's chase after Rodriguez, he had closed to within 2.0 seconds, ended with a broken gearbox and he coasted to a stop coming out of the Esses.
		Piers Courage found the circuit a shade quick for the 1.6 McLaren-Ford and shared fourth row with 1:8.5 alongside John Harvey in the Brabham-Repco V8 with 1:8.9.
		Piers Courage bashed the nose of the little McLaren when the flag marshals got so wrapped up in watching the cars they forgot to signal oil on the track, but Piers decided for the last race he'd bandage the nose rather than do it properly and look all suave again.

	1969 Teretonga
		Courage, no stranger to Teretonga, was content with 59.3 sec, and Amon chipped away to 59.2 before the end of the session.
		Courage made his ninth lap the fastest of the race at 58.0 sec and it was evident that the Frank Williams entered car was more than a match for the Ferrari.
		Courage and the other front-runners had begun doubling some of the better placed residents, including Brownlie who was filling seventh behind Levis.

		Normally books such as this are reserved for the racing drivers who fulfilled their potential with championship victories and became household names, but Courage earns his place for being such a remarkable, fun-loving and often mischievous character.

		Courage never won a world title, although he had reasonably good results at times, dominating Formula 3 before stepping up into Formula 1 – well before F1 swelled with look-alike automatons driving cars distinguished only by advertising.
		Drivers were either reasonably well-to-do like Courage, or poverty-stricken stringers, such as future team boss and Courage contemporary Frank Williams, who scrimped and borrowed every time he took a car to the track.
		Piers died in an early spoiler car, a De Tomaso, at Holland’s Zandvoort track in 1970, losing it on a corner where Jack Brabham had crashed five days earlier.

		At Kyalami, Courage hit a stone and damaged the suspension, asking for a complete rebuild in time for the Spanish GP at Jarama, where Piers hit the guardrail after qualifying 19th, wiping the car out.
