Token (Racing team)

Token (Racing team)

Token was a Formula One constructor from the United Kingdom. They participated in 4 grands prix, entering a total of 4 cars.

The Token has an interesting history. It was originally intended to be the car with which Rondel Racing, the successful Formula Two team founded by Ron Dennis and Neil Trundle graduated to F1. Rondel had been running a team of its own F2 cars named after its sponsor, the French oil company Motul in 1973. The F1 car was designed by Ray Jessop and was set to make its debut in 1974.

During the energy crisis, they lost their Motul sponsorship and had to abandon plans to move up. The completion of the car was funded by Tony Vlassopoulo and Ken Grob (although oddly enough Motul resurfaced as a sponsor of BRM in 1974...).

Tom Pryce used the car to make his F1 debut, and it was later driven by David Purley and Ian Ashley.

The car later passed into other hands and was renamed the Safir.
