The Hill GH1 was a Formula One car used by Embassy Hill during the 1975 Formula One season. It was designed by Andy Smallman.[3] The car was initially designated as the Lola T371,[4] but when Smallman left Lola to work full-time for Embassy Hill it was renamed as the Hill GH1.[5] GH1 cars participated in 12 World Championship Grands Prix in 1975, with 21 entries in total using six different drivers. Two points finishes yielded 11th place in the World Constructors' Championship, with three points.
