The Chevron B28 was an open-wheel race car, designed, developed and built by British Manufacturer Chevron, for Formula 5000 racing, in 1973.[1] It was driven by Peter Gethin, Teddy Pilette, Vern Schuppan, and Chris Craft. Briton Peter Gethin won 4 races in the 1974 season with the B28, eventually finishing second place, as runner-up in the championship, with 186 points. Gethin's Belgian teammate, Teddy Pilette, would finish fourth place in the championship, with 108 points. Chevron only produced two finished models of the B28.[2] It did compete at the non-championship Race of Champions Formula One race, being driven by Peter Gethin (who started in 16th-place), and its best result there was a 10th-place finish. It was later converted into a closed-wheel prototype-style car, and used in the revived Can-Am series in North America. As with most other cars of the time, it was powered by the commonly used Chevrolet small-block engine.[3][4][5][6]
