British Formula One Racing Team was a Formula One team run by Brian Henton in 1977. Henton, a racing driver who had been competing in Formula One and Two, set up his own team to compete regularly in Formula One.[1] The team purchased a March 761B from March Engineering together with a Cosworth DFV engine,[2] to compete in selected World Championship and Shellsport International Series races.[2] Henton and Bernard de Dryver entered four World Championship races, but failed to qualify for any.[3] The team later shut down through lack of funds.[1][2]
