I'm sure there were other races in which BRM entered five cars...
I don't have the resources to check which ones.

I think this was the first F1 race that BRM had five cars entered even though they did not all make it through the first lap !
At the next race at Watkins Glen they had five cars entered for the last race of the 1971 F 1 season.
For the first few races of the 1972 F1 season BRM had five cars entered.
With this quote from "Wikipedia"
" The 1972 campaign was generally chaotic: having acquired major sponsorship, Louis Stanley originally planned to field up to six cars (three for established drivers, three for paying journeymen and young drivers) of varying designs including P153s, P160s and P180s and actually ran up to five for a mix of paying and paid drivers until it became obvious that it was completely overstretched and the team's sponsors insisted that the team should cut back to a more reasonable level and only three cars were run in 1973 for Beltoise, Lauda, and Regazzoni.

Memories, there...
The way the tyres are pulling at their sidewalls, remember how they used to have screws in the rims to retain the tyres on their beads?

the bolts in the rims were to keep the tyre in place after a puncture. they did not screw into the tyre but inboard of the bead. you must remember these tyres ran at 16psi hot, a lot less than the modern radials

I don't think they were specifically for punctures...
They were certainly there in F1 cars and yes, inboard of the beads.

Thanks Ray,
I appreciate you arranging the latest F1 cars as you did.
p.s. How did you arrange how the car landed at the old Nurburgring circuit ?
Did you just lean back in the seat, hang on and pray ?
