results
[edit]I have compiled the complete results and put them into the page. However, due to size issues, it might be best to include them in a seperate article. What do you think? Cadan ap Tomos (talk) 12:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think the table can stay in the article - it's about the same size as the results table in Jordan Grand Prix. A couple of other points:
- the standard order for the columns for multi-entrant tables like this one is entrant, chassis, engine, tyres, driver - see the second table in Lotus Grand Prix results as an example
- I don't think the flags are necessary. None of the other constructor results tables have them.

- I will change the order of the columns later. Has the issue on flags been disputed before, as the article requests pictures, and i think it may brighten it up a bit, seeing as it doesn't have many images. Also, shall I split the table into Connaught entries and other entries, as in Lotus Grand Prix results ? Cadan ap Tomos (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it probably should be split into two tables, for consistency with the other constructor results articles. DH85868993 (talk) 23:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Connaught Car Club
[edit]When I was a schoolboy I was a member of the Connaught Car Club -- an attempt, as I recall, to raise money to keep the Connaught F1 machines going. Does anyone know anything about this. I have no details anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.130.138 (talk) 10:16, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Origin of name
[edit]Connaught Engineering was not named from a contraction of Continental Autos: it comes from its original premises in Connaught Road, Pirbright. The garage in Send that fronted it was called Continental Cars, not Continental Autos so the name derivation cannot be as you have written. ~2026-12331-64 (talk) 09:27, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
