Canadians In F1
I am the chair of the Archvies committe of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.
I am currently reading Forza Amon in the section on the Amon F1 car project when I came across a reference to a Proferssor Tom Boyce, a Canadian, who did the car's aerodynamics. It states that he had also done the shape on the Lola T70. First time I heard that reference. Can anyone provide any more info? I will create a database of all Canadians in Formula One. The drivers with F1 involvement are well known but there many who worked in many other capacities. One such example is Rod Campbell who worked in Canada for George Eaton and did the BRM deal and then was in F1 with Brett Lunger, Walter Wolf and Mo Nunn's Ensign project. Although after that he ended up in the States and worked on Ford racing projects for years he maintained many F1 ties. I have a couple of other names that I will do some more work on and add into the dscussion This will be very useful for our Archives and I thank you all for your assiatance in advance |

I can find no reference to Boyce in either Bamsey's or Starkey's books on the T70. I'd always had the impression that the body shape was designed 'in-house' at Lola.
