2004 BAR 060 - a photo on Flickriver

2004 BAR 060

            This is a photograph I took at the Donington Park Museum in September 2014. It's the BAR-Honda 060 that Jenson Button and Takuma Sato drove in the 2004 season. The board at the side of the car reads like this:

'2004     B.A.R.   060
The BAR 060 car was driven by Jenson Button in the
2004 Formula One Championship. This car helped bring
Jenson Button home third in the drivers’ series and take
BAR to second place in the manufacturers’
championship.

In the last weeks of 2001, Prodrive was brought in by
BAR to take over the management of the then
underperforming Formula One team.

As part of the agreement, a team of Prodrive
management, including chairman David Richards, was
seconded to the team. Prodrive restructured the BAR,
operation, gave it a distinct new identity and most
importantly, made the team truly competitive for the
first time in its short history.

By the end of 2004, the team was second only to Ferrari
In terms of performance and, off the track, was meeting
Its budget targets. As a result, its major shareholder
BAT was able to sell the business to Honda and
Prodrive’s task was completed.'


Jenson Button had 4 second place and 6 third place finishes to finish with 85 points in third place in the World Drivers' Championship in 2004, while Takuma Sato had one third place and a number of minor points-scoring finishes to earn 34 points for eighth place. BAR-Honda ended up in second place in the World Constructors' Championship behind Ferrari.
