Chevron B16

Brian Redman won the very first outing, the 500 km (310 mi) race at the Nürburgring on September 7, 1969, at a time of 3:13:01.6 hours.

[3] As a one-off, the single-seater and open Chevron B16 Spyder with a 1790 cc Cosworth engine was also successfully used by Brian Redman in the 2-liter class of the European Sports Car Championship in 1970.

[4] The favorites for the 1969 500 km (310 mi) race at the Nürburgring were three Abarths, a prototype, and two sports cars, with drivers Johannes Ortner, Toine Hezemans, and Gijs van Lennep, who were already setting such good times on Friday that they skipped Saturday practice.

But on Saturday, Brian Redman in the new 1.6-liter Chevron B16 set a lap of 8:33.5, 5.6 seconds faster than Hezeman's two-liter Abarth.

Places two to five were taken by the Abarth drivers Hezemans, van Lennep and Ortner and Herbert Schultzeon Alfa Romeo Tipo 33.
