Teammate Mick Grant finished second. Williams is now making replicas of his famous monocoque and is still disappointed his groundbreaking design was shelved. Just why a winning formula would be changed so radically after just one season is shrouded in the mists of time.

The monocoque frame could be easily lifted off the engine but the actual construction of the chassis was very time consuming. At first glance the space-frame Commando looked very similar to the monocoque but with a small conventional fuel tank above the engine and a secondary tank high in the tailpiece.

Features like this, and the lighter, short, straight frame tubing, helped lower dry weight compared to the monocoque. Race results were disappointing that year, with one bright spot coming early in the season when Williams and Dave Croxford finished one-two at the Brands Hatch Hutchinson With the promise of the new, water-cooled Cosworth Challenge ahead, the team pressed on, even testing a spaceframe with monoshock rear suspension. As early as , Norton was building a successor to the Commando.

Without the financial resources to develop its own engine lateral thinking had drawn it to Cosworth. Why not hack two cylinders off the V8 engine that had been dominating the F1 Grand Prix scene since ? This double-overhead cam design featured fuel injection and an industry-leading flat-top piston layout with shallow combustion chambers and four valves per cylinder.

Peter Williams had no involvement with the Challenge but much later ended up working for Cosworth on its F1 car engines. It was driven by Dennis Poore, chairman of the Norton Villiers Triumph group, who envisaged it both as a race and road engine.

Being a former car racer, Poore found it easy to strike up a relationship with Duckworth. Twin 39mm Keihin FCR. Max Power. Max Torque. Final Drive. Chromium Molybdenum. Front Suspension. Front Wheel Travel. Rear Suspension. Twin sided swingarm, twin shocks, pre-load adjustable.
