Rondel Racing was a British racing team that competed in the Formula Two series between 1971 and 1973. The team was founded by two ex-Brabham mechanics Ron Dennis and Neil Trundle. Rondel won five European Championship races before being forced to close down in 1973 due to lack of funding following the withdrawal of sponsor Motul. At the end of the 1970 Formula One season, driver and team owner Jack Brabham retired from the sport and sold his shares in the Brabham team to Ron Tauranac. Jack Brabham's chief mechanic, Ron Dennis and his deputy, Neil Trundle, decided to form their own racing team. Dennis and Trundle started the team with just £1,000, and the Brabham BT36 cars initially used by the team were bought on hire purchase from Tauranac. The name Rondel, came from the first name of Ron Dennis and a corruption of the last three letters of Trundle's name. Rondel were based in Old Windsor, Berkshire.
