Team Lotus Type 25 Chassis R5 1963 on display at the Club Lotus Show held at Donington Park 20th April 2013. Winner 1963 F1 World Championship. The car had the 1497cc Coventry Climax FWMV V8 engine, with 4 twin choke down draught weber DCNL-4 carbureters, producing 200 bhp. In 1963, changes to the car included fuel injection, a lighter monocoque and nose cone air intake ducts. The Type 25 established itself as the fastest car in F1, during 1962 and 1963, in the hands of Jim Clark. Works Drivers - Jim Clark, Trevor Taylor, Peter Arundell, Mike Spence GP Starts - 99 Wins - 14 Points - 163 This actual car is chassis No. R5, it was built towards the end of the 1962 season, Lotus 25 chassis number R5 was originally designated to be Jim Clark's backup car for the South African Grand Prix in East London. However, with a World Championship riding on the weekend's outcome the decision was taken to promote 25 R5 from spare to race status on account of the fact that it used a carburettor-fed Coventry Climax V8 whereas 25 R4 (Clark's existing race mount) was fitted with a new fuel-injected unit. Shrugging aside any horsepower deficit, Jim Clark duly put 25 R5 on pole and was leading the race by a comfortable margin when a smoking engine forced him into retirement. At the time, the fault was attributed to an oil gallery plug falling out. However, in hindsight I think the problem was oil scavenge pump failure. Jim Clark drove the following races aboard 25 R5 in 1963: Pau GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap. Imola GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap Aintree - Pole position but Clark suffered problems during the race. He was called in and changed cars with Trevor Taylor who subsequently finished 7th. BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone - 1st Thereafter 25 R5 became Trevor Taylor's mount. He finished 6th at Monaco but at Spa two weeks later, during practice, the car suffered suspension failure due to a bolt falling out of the rear wishbone mounting and it ended up in the marshal's post at Stavelot. What was left of the car was brought back to the works and stripped but it was decided not to rebuild the car as a new monocoque was nearing completion and time was always a priority. The monocoque, which had been split in half, was placed at the back of the workshop awaiting the scrap man. This chassis began its rebuild in 1984 and was completed in 1987.

This is the Project Four Racing-entered Ralt-BMW RT1 that future Formula 1 driver Eddie Cheever raced during the 1977 European Formula 2 Championship. Project Four Racing was created in 1976 by Ron Dennis and would run until 1980 when the organisation merged with the McLaren Formula 1 team. Cheever took the RT1 to wins at the Nurburgring (the team's first) and Rouen-les-Essarts that would see the American end the season as runner-up to Frenchman Rene Arnoux. Pictured in August 2013 at the Donington Grand Prix Collection, Donington Park.
Brass effigies of Robert de Staunton, wife Agnes, 4 sons & 3 daughters , lie on a table tomb of plain grey marble in the south chapel flic.kr/p/2gWqYB7 "Hie jacet Robertus Staunton filis Thomae Staunton Armigeri et Agnes vxor dicti Robert! que obiit xviii0 die mensis Julii Anno domini mcccc° Iviii0 et dictus Robertus obiit ...... die mensis ......... Anno domini Millesimo cccc° ........... Quorum Animabus propicietur deus Amen". The monument erected in Robert's lifetime after the death of his wife in 1458 later, the inscription leaving blank space to fill in his date of death, which was never done Robert was the son of Thomas Staunton, esquire He m Agnes ...... Children 1. William 2. Robert (alive in 1482) 3. Harold d 1512 +++ 4. (?) Maud m Hugh Shirley, possibly the 4th son of John Shirley of Staunton. Harold === The figures stand under 2 crocketed canopies with ogee heads and round arches with cinquefoil cusping, divided by a pinnacle (now gone) rising from a corbel. Both have prayer scrolls , of which only the indents remain of Roberts, possibly God bless us and keep us" to match Agnes scroll " Illuminet vultum suum super nos et misereatur nostri". (Shine your face upon us and be gracious unto us) Robert Staunton's brass shows the best example of extravagant coudieres, and is also remarkable for showing the salade, which came into use c 1450, but is of extreme rarity upon brasses and effigies. It is here represented very wide in form with falling visor in which is the eye-slot. The visor, being pivoted on either side, could be closed, and is apparently guided in its movement by a prolongation running backwards and forwards upon a hidden comb or ridge. The salade rested entirely on the head, and was not affixed in any way to the body armour : its coolness was a great recommendation, as was also the facility with which the head could be moved in any direction. It had the prolongation behind for the protection of the back of the neck, which if course, cannot be shown on a brass. The gorget is of plate, over which laminated shoulder-pieces are shown, and these are of equal size, though more massive pauldrons, of which the right one, i.e., the protection for the sword arm, was smaller, were now coming into use. The details of the breastplate and arm defences are hidden by the enormous coudieres, which are of equal size; though the bottom edge of the placcate, or reinforcement of the breastplate, can be seen. A skirt of 5 taces is attached the lower edge of the breastplate, and from the bottom tace hangs a pair of tuiles, between which is seen an apron of mail. The defences of the legs consist of the usual cuissarts, or thigh coverings, genouillieres or knee-caps, jambes reinforced with 2 plates below the knees, and pointed sollerets of several lams: and rowel spurs are worn. The suit here depicted is of great interest as showing equipment for actual warfare. (Routh) in 1485, presumably after Bosworth, provision is made that it shall not affect a gift or grant made by letters patent of Henry VI, under the seal of the duchy of Lancaster, to Robert Staunton or William Staunton, of the offices of constableship and stewardship of Donington, or of the offices of bailiship and parkership of Donington. The passage, however, bears upon the identity of the Robert Staunton who is buried in the south aisle and was a person of local consequence. In the letters patent by which Edward IV gave his demesne lands to the freeholders, etc., of the place, occur the names of Margaret, late the wife of Robert Staunton, and William Staunton. Robert the son was still alive in 1482, when he was named on the commission of the peace for Leicestershire. He occurs in that position from 1454 to 1482, and is overlapped by Robert Staunton, a J.P. for Derbyshire from 1443 to 1457. In 1460 there were 3 brothers alive (most likely the sons of Robert & Agnes) named William, Robert, and Harold Staunton, for on 29 April in that year the Longhborough court roll records that William Staunton came into court, " and took of the lord a garden in Loughborough by the Dedlane, to hold to the said William, Robert and Harold, his brothers, for term of their lives and the longer liver of them, at a yearly rent of 12d. and two works," etc. The name of Harold Staunton +++ is specially connected with Castle Donington, because in 1509 Harold Staunton and Thomas Hesilrige (grandfather of Robert Hesilrigg www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/d278D8 ) had licence to found a chantry in the church there for one priest, to sing divine service in the chapel of our Lady there, and to pray for the souls of the founders, and also to teach a grammar school there for the education of poor scholars within a schoolhouse founded by them within the town . The yearly value of this chantry at the suppression of such foundations was £8 4s. 8d. Harold Staunton's will was proved in the prerogative court of Canterbury on 12 October, 1512 wherein he directed that his body should be buried in the church of the friars observant at Newark-on-Trent: he left 40s. to the prioress and convent of Langley to make him " a brother there of their chapitour house," and £10 to the church of Donington which Sir Ralph Shirley owed him for parcels bought for him. There was some relationship between him and the Shirleys and Hazlerigs, but its exact nature has not been ascertained. William Staunton of Prestwold, whose will was proved 9 July, 1530,34 bequeathed all such land as Harold Staunton purchased in the towns and fields of Burton on the Wolds, Queniborough, Slawston, and Bosworth, with 16s. a year in Cotes, making £5 a year in all, to a priest to sing at the altar of St. Mary Magdalene-in Prestwold church for the souls of Harold Staunton and all Christian souls, " and he to be at mass by seven of the clock in the morning." www.le.ac.uk/lahs/downloads/CastleDonPagesfromVolume14-1-... www.shirleyassociation.com/NewShirleySite/NonMembers/Engl... - Church of St Edward, King and Martyr, Castle Donington Leicestershire
