Boro (Formula One)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boro was a Formula One team from the Netherlands run by the brothers Bob and Rody Hoogenboom. The car was actually built by the Ensign team, but was renamed Boro after their main sponsor HB Bewaking ended up as proprietors of the car after a legal dispute with Morris 'Mo' Nunn of Ensign. In the small Dutch town of Bovenkerk the Hoogenboom brothers set up a small factory to work on the N175. They entered a total of 8 Grands Prix between 1976 and 1977, but failed to cause a lasting impression.
