The BRM Hepworth GB-1 was a British sports prototype race car, designed, developed, and built by British constructor BRM, for the North American Can-Am sports car racing series. It was crashed during practice testing at Riverside in 1980, and never raced.[1][2] It was itself based on the unraced BRM P230 Formula One car.[3][4][5]
