Rondel Racing was a British racing team that competed in the Formula Two series between 1971 and 1973. The team was founded by two ex-Brabham mechanics Ron Dennis and Neil Trundle. Rondel won five European Championship races before being forced to close down in 1973 due to a number of factors including lack of money, loss of Motul support and NatWest Bank calling in a £5,000 overdraft over a workshop floor installed by Dennis. The Elfin Type 600 is a Formula car produced from 1968 to 1971 by Elfin Sports Cars in Australia. The model was originally developed to compete in the Australian 1½ Litre Formula but later variants were also produced for other categories including Australian Formula 2, the Australian National Formula, Australian Formula 1, Australian Formula 3 and Formula Ford. The model has won numerous major titles including the 1968 Australian 1½ Litre Championship, 1971 Australian Formula 2 Championship, 1972 Australian Formula 2 Championship, the 1970 and 1971 Australian Formula Ford Series, the 1970 and 1971 New Zealand Formula Ford Championships, the 1968 Singapore Grand Prix, the 1968 and 1969 Malaysian Grand Prix and the 1983 Australian Hillclimb Championship. The car cost $6500 when it was new.
