He participated in 7 [[Formula One]] World Championship Grands Prix, achieving 1 podium, and scoring a total of 9 championship points. ===Driving career=== Before [[World War II]] Parnell was a very successful racing driver, winning at many levels with various cars, including a [[Bugatti]]. After the war he continued with his success, winning with a [[Maserati]] and an [[English Racing Automobiles|ERA]], before participating in the very first Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]], in 1950. He raced a wide selection of different cars, and his other World Championship Grands Prix included two races for [[BRM]]; one in the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] "Thinwall Special" owned by [[Tony Vandervell]], who was later to run the [[Vanwall]] team; one in a [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]]-[[Bristol Cars|Bristol]]; and a couple for the [[Scuderia Ambrosiana]] team, the first in a [[Maserati]] and the other in a Ferrari. He won non-championship Formula One races right up until his retirement in 1957. ===F1 Management=== In 1961 Reg Parnell inherited the '''[[Yeoman Credit Racing]]''' sponsorship deal from the [[British Racing Partnership]]. During the [[1961 Formula One season]] he ran two [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper T53]]-[[Coventry Climax|Climax]] cars for [[John Surtees]] and [[Roy Salvadori]], who between them collected a handful of championship points. For the [[1962 Formula One season|1962 season]] the team was renamed '''Bowmaker-Yeoman Racing''', and in place of the Coopers ran [[Lola Mk4]] chassis, again powered by Climax engines. Surtees and Salvadori remained with the team, but Salvadori had a nightmare season, failing to finish a single race. Surtees faired much better, however, scoring 19 points and finishing in 4th place in the drivers' championship. During the season he also gave Reg Parnell his first podium finishes as manager - with second places in both the [[1962 British Grand Prix|British]] and [[1962 German Grand Prix|German]] events - and took [[pole position]] at the season-opening [[1962 Dutch Grand Prix|Dutch Grand Prix]]. He managed various other racing teams, including the [[24 Hours of Le Mans|Le Mans]]-winning [[Aston Martin]] outfit, before setting up a team in his own name in late 1962. '''Reg Parnell Racing''' was still in the early stages of development when Parnell died of [[peritonitis]] after an [[vermiform appendix|appendix]] operation in early 1964. Parnell's son [[Tim Parnell|Tim]], also a racing driver, took over the team management and developed a strong working relationship with [[BRM]] during the late 1960s. The Parnell team was wound up as a separate entity when Tim Parnell took on the running of the works BRM team from 1970. {{-}} ==Complete Formula One World Championship results== ([[:Template:F1 driver results legend 2|key]]) {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:95%" !
