It was founded by Bob Sparshott, a former engineer at Lotus who had worked with Jim Clark and Graham Hill. They first entered F1 in 1976, with a Surtees for Henri Pescarolo, then ran a March and a McLaren for Brett Lunger in 1977 and then a pair of McLarens for Lunger and Nelson Piquet in 1978.
They also ran in F2 and F3000, under the name BS Automotive, providing Christian Danner with his F3000 championship winner in 1985.
Sparshott still operates an engineering company associated with motorsport.
