Cooper T58
The Cooper T58 was a Formula One car built by Cooper Car Company for the 1961 Formula One season. Only one example was built; it set one pole position and one fastest lap but scored no wins. Development The car was effectively a T55 modified to act as a test mule for the Coventry Climax FWMV V8 engine. Racing history The T58 made its debut at the 1961 German Grand Prix. Jack Brabham qualified second behind Phil Hill's Ferrari and briefly led the race but crashed on the first lap. Brabham qualified tenth at the Italian and on pole and set fastest lap at the United States but retired from both races due to overheating. The Cooper team scored 14 World Championship points during 1961 but none were scored with the T58, the team reverted to the older T55 and the newer Cooper T60 for 1962. The car was then sold to the Reg Parnell Racing team, who entered it in one race only, the non-championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix, fitted with a BRM V8 engine. Driver Moises Solana Moises or ...

Formula One
Formula One (also known as Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The World Drivers' Championship, which became the FIA Formula One World Championship in 1981, has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950. The word ''formula'' in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants' cars must conform. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as ''Grands Prix'', which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads. A points system is used at Grands Prix to determine two annual World Championships: one for drivers, the other for constructors. Each driver must hold a valid Super Licence, the highest class of racing licence issued by the FIA. The races must run on tracks graded "1" (formerly "A"), the highest grade-rating issued ...
