In 1969, at the age of 23, Peter Connew was asked by a friend if he wanted to attend the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

[3] The team planned to make their racing debut at the Monaco Grand Prix, but a sudden rule change required the construction of another chassis in a different type of aluminium.

Frenchman François Migault signed a deal to drive for the team and also provided a Ford truck, which carried the car to France.

[1] The small team also managed to show up at the 1972 German Grand Prix, but without having made a proper prior entry, participation was denied by the race officials.

The Connew reappeared at the end of season World Championship Victory Race at Brands Hatch with David Purley driving but did not start because of electrical problems.

Purley had asked for an electrical "kill" switch to be fitted to the steering wheel, but on the warm-up lap this malfunctioned, the engine stopped and the car was retired.

Swiss driver Pierre Soukry qualified the car in twenty-first place, but was unable to start due to a split oil pipe.
