Chevron B34
The Chevron B34 was a Formula Atlantic and Formula 3 racing car built by Chevron Cars .
The B34 was designed in 1975 as a Formula Atlantic racing car, but when the Formula 3 European Championship was held in 1976 with more races than 1975, the decision was made in the winter of 1975/1976 to convert the B34 to Formula 3. The first trips with a test car were successful and Derek Bennett consistently developed the racing car further. In contrast to the Formula Atlantic car, which was powered by a Hart engine, the Formula 3 car had an aggregate from Toyota .
The factory supported the Italian Trivellato team in the European Championship and Riccardo Patrese became Formula 3 European Champion with victories in Zandvoort , Enna , Monza and Kassel-Calden with the B34. Rupert Keegan and Geoff Lee celebrated race victories in the British Formula 3 championship , and the B34 became one of the best-selling chevron racing cars ever.
