A 1972 GRD 372 powered by a Holbay Ford engine, was entered by Wheatcroft Racing for Leicestershire driver Roger Williamson. Williamson had previously won the Junior Championships. And he and his GRD dominated the 1972 Formula Three, winning the title by 78 points as well as securing victory in a smaller Formula Three series.
Sadly the outstandingly promising Williamson died in a Formula One March the following season.

GRD (Group Racing Developements) was a short-lived British constructor of racing cars. It was formed in 1971 with a large percentage of staff coming from those made redundant from the closure of Lotus Cars customer car manufacturing arm. They built cars for Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula Atlantic and Sports 2000 racing classes until a decline in British racing vehicle manufacturing bit into the industry in 1975 that paralleled the oil crisis.
