Lyncar was a Formula One constructor from the United Kingdom. They participated in only two grands prix, the 1974 and 1975 British Grands Prix, entering a total of two cars.
Lyncar's founder Martin Slater had built and raced his own cars in junior formulae[1] before becoming a designer for Lola, Brabham and March.[1] In 1971, Slater built a car to enter the British Formula Atlantic Championship, the first of a series of machines which led to the Lyncar 005 with which McLaren engine-builder and amateur racer John Nicholson won the 1973 and 1974 championships.[1]
Based upon success in Formula Atlantic, Nicholson commissioned a Formula One chassis from Slater. Nicholson had by then established his own engine building business and was unable to spare the time for a full Grand Prix season.[2] He entered non-championship races and the British Grand Prix in both 1974 and 1975, qualifying for the latter.[1] He was classified 17th (five laps behind) despite crashing in the heavy storm at the end of the race.[2]
The car was later updated and entered for Emilio de Villota in the Shellsport International Series, winning a round in 1977 at Mallory Park.[1]
