BritishRacingPartnership (BRP) was a Formula One constructor from the United Kingdom, established by Alfred Moss, Stirling Moss's father, in the late 1950s to run cars for Stirling, when not under contract with other firms.
BRP ran a Cooper-Borgward F2 car and BRM F1 car in 1959, the latter being demolished in a spectacular crash at the Avus street circuit.
BRP later changed to running Lotus 24s and tried to acquire the more modern, monocoque Lotus 25 from Lotus without success.
BritishRacing Motors (generally known as BRM) was a BritishFormula 1 motor racing team.
Stirling Moss believed that the BRM engine was superior to the Cooper, and P25 was briefly run in 1959 by the BritishRacingPartnership, for Moss (and also Hans Herrmann), and Rob Walker also backed the construction of a Cooper-BRM to gain access to the engine.
The BRP-entered BRM for Moss and Herrmann was a non-metallic duck-egg green.
