However, Embassy Hill struggled, securing only three points-scoring finishes in three years of racing.
In 1975, Hill, his driver Tony Brise, and four other members of the team died in an accident.
[14][15][16][17] Two-time snooker world champion Alex Higgins sued the makers of Embassy in 1999, claiming that the encouragement from the sponsors to smoke Embassy cigarettes and the free cigarettes given to players had contributed to him contracting throat cancer.
