Amon (Formula One team)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amon was a Formula One team that competed in 1974.
Fresh from the 1973 disaster at Tecno, but encouraged by the potential of the undeveloped Gordon Fowell chassis, driver Chris Amon tried running his own F1 car in 1974. Financial backing came from John Dalton, and the car followed the Lotus 72 in some areas of construction, with sophisticated torsion-bar suspension and side radiators.
The venture failed completely. Amon qualified but retired from the team's first race at the Spanish Grand Prix. Both Chris and Larry Perkins failed to qualify the car for the German Grand Prix, and Chris also failed to qualify it for the Italian Grand Prix.
