Question ... What Car Designer won in F-1 driving a car he designed and built himself?
Dan Gurney
I believe Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren also fall into this category.
Yes, I believe those gentlemen should also be included.
I'm wondering though, how much of the "design work" was actually done by those 3. I know Ron Tauranac was the designer @ Brabham and was also a principal of the firm from the outset. The late Carroll Smith was a big fan of Tauranac. I just don't know the details for the other two firms. Back in the day, a lot of the "design work" was done by "committee". And, true to form, MANY major changes in a design, address MFU's and various other things that are a maintenance PITA. I have direct experience here, and so will
midget, once he decides to "fix" the front end geometry of the lowered MM.
