The BRM P230 was an open-wheel Formula One racing car, designed and developed by Aubrey Woods, and built by British constructor BRM, for the 1979 Aurora AFX F1 1979 British Formula One Championship, but never raced. It was due to be driven by Neil Bettridge, and like its predecessor was going to be powered by a nearly {{cvt|500|hp|kW}} BRM V12 engine, and run on Goodyear tyres.{{Cite web|url=https://www.unracedf1.com/brm-p230-brms-last-formula-one-car/|title=BRM P230; BRM's last Formula one car|date=August 19, 2018}} It later became the basis for the unraced BRM Hepworth GB-1 Can-Am car.{{Cite web|url=http://members.madasafish.com/~d_hodgkinson/brm-P230.htm|title=The P230 was the last BRM|website=members.madasafish.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/brm/p230/|title=BRM P230 history|first=Allen|last=Brown|website=OldRacingCars.com|date=19 July 2017 }}
