Was it the rear wing support pillars of the Hill GH-1, in 1975?

That's it, with Rolf Stommelen driving! They were carbon fibre, but I have no idea if it was a first?

[WhiteBlue]

1969 Spain Montjuich park. Lotus. I doubt that those wings were carbon fibre.

There are some rumours about Postlethwaite using carbon fibre in the Hesketh 308, from 1974, which could be its first application, but I can't confirm it.

Surely Andrew can clarify this.

I was actually thinking of the wing supports on the Hill GH1 of 1975.

However the Hesketh 308 of 1974 was the first it seems.


Over to you dumrick. =D>

[dumrick]

Don't take my word for the use of carbon fibre on the Hesketh...

This was the last F1 race at this circuit. Which circuit is it?

[andrew]

Montjunic Park 1975?

[xpensive]

Nivelles in Belgium? Picture from 1974 with Regazzoni and Lauda in their 312B3s in front, followed by a Shadow and Ronnie Peterson somewhere in the back.

[dumrick]

Montjunic Park 1975?

Exactly, that's the GP we were just talking about!

Your turn again, andrew .

[xpensive]

When Regazzoni and Lauda were both driving ferrari 312T's at the 1975 race, while the picture shows the 1974 312B3, I doubt this.

I believe that my source was wrong. It is indeed 1974 and the circuit could be Monaco...

Sorry about that. It seems I failed to do the appropriate research and confirmation...

[andrew]

Xpensive's answer was closer than mine. At least you were in the right year! Your go I believe.

Who was the Local Title Sponsor of the last F1 race in South Africa in 1993?
Good luck fellas this is Wiki proof!

[andrew]

The South African Government pumped a lump of cash into it.

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Nope, it was all private sector allegedly.
