If you are counting non championship F1 races ERA scored two successes in 1950 the first in June with Bob Gerard piloting an R14B for the win at the British Empire Trophy race, Douglas, Ilse of Man. The second came in August when Cuth Harrison won at the Sheffield Telegraph Trophy, Gamston, Nottinghamshire also in an ERA. A month later in September BRM also came home first at The Goodwood Trophy with Reg parnell at the wheel.

The same man Bob Gerard brought the ERA R14B home in first at the British Empire Trophy in 1948 & 1949, but Formula One did not officially begin until 1950.

huh, where did that question go - the one about the worst qualifying team in F1?

from bleacher report.com:

Number 5: Coloni

Nationality: Italian

Years in F1: 1987-91

Pricipal: Enzo Coloni

GP Entries: 81

DNQ/DNPQ: 67

Best Result: 8th, Canada, 1989

This well-run team lasted four years in Formula One. A partnership with Subaru and a shoe-string budget resulted in Coloni being crowned the DNQ/DNPQ kings.
