Hill’s BRM trophy goes back home
A racing car steering wheel belonging to Graham Hill has been given to BRM’s home town of Bourne in Lincolnshire. The winner of the 1962 F1 World Championship with BRM gave the wheel to the Owen Motoring Club (OMC) in the West Midlands in the early Sixties. The club was allied to Rubery Owen, the engineering group that owned the BRM team, and the wheel became the trophy for the OMC annual sprint. Since then the Graham Hill Trophy has been awarded to so many up-and-coming drivers that there is now no room to engrave more names on it. So the club has commissioned a replica for future winners and on 21 October presented the original to Bourne Heritage Centre for safe keeping. David Brown
