About Eagle-Climax
Eagle-Climax denotes the American chassis-and-engine combination that paired Eagle cars with Climax power in Formula 1, appearing in the World Championship between 1966 and 1969. In the sport's earlier decades it was common for results to be recorded by the specific chassis-engine pairing, and this combination represents one such entry across 3 seasons.
The team never won a race or finished on the podium, but it did score championship points during its time on the grid, a respectable return for a small operation competing against far better-resourced rivals.
Drivers to appear for the team included Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney and Al Pease.
