    Graeme Lawrence's exciting 1971 season abroad

    Graeme Lawrence bought Evan Noyes' Brabham BT29 in early 1971, uprated it, and campaigned it all over the far east...

    Can you help verify the accuracy of any of the following information and/or help fill in missing data?

    Graeme Lawrence's 1971 Race Results (in his Brabham BT29)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Singapore Grand Prix (Thomson Road circuit) on April 11 --- finished 1st of 7 (with Twin Cam)
    Kuala Lumpur Grand Prix (Shah Alam circuit) on May 18 --- finished 1st of ? (with Twin Cam)
    Japanese Grand Prix (Fuji Intl. Speedway) on May 3 --- finished 4th of 14 (with FVC)
    Angus&Coote Diamond Trophy (Oran Park AU) on June 27 --- finished 2nd of 16 (with FVC)
    Malaysian Grand Prix (Shah Alam circuit) on September 5 --- finished 5th of ? (with Twin Cam)
    Macau Grand Prix (Guia street circuit) in November --- (didn't participate)
    Australian Grand Prix (Warwick Farm AU) on November 21 --- finished 4th of 21 (with Twin Cam?)

    (At Oran Park he spun, then set a lap record for the course while battling his way back!)
    (At Warwick Farm he was the fastest <2L car & just 4sec off podium, outrunning 5 of 8 F5000 cars!)

    Should other races be included here?
