BRM P138 P101 #9 US GP 1968 Bobby Unser in 1:43 scale
This is the BRM P138 P101 #9 US GP 1968 Bobby Unser in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1968 United States Grand Prix held at Watkins Glen, American racing legend Bobby Unser lined up in the BRM P138 #9 with the Owen Racing Organization, bringing his USAC champion pedigree to the world of Formula 1 in a rare appearance. The BRM P138 was one of British Racing Motors’ late-season developments, powered by a 3.0-liter V12 that was notoriously fragile, and Unser’s outing ended in retirement after just 35 laps with engine failure — typical of BRM’s struggles that year with reliability despite the car’s potential. What made the 1968 U.S. GP unique was its status as one of the era’s most competitive and unpredictable championship rounds, featuring home favorites like Mario Andretti making strong qualifying runs, a huge crowd at Watkins Glen, and intense battles between aerodynamic innovations and traditional designs — all set against the backdrop of American fans cheering on local drivers like Unser in the world’s top open-wheel series.
