'''Connaught Engineering''', often referred to simply as '''Connaught''', was a [[Formula One]], [[Formula Two]] and other sports car divisions constructor from the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=History – Connaught Motor Company |url=https://connaughtmotorcompany.com/history |access-date=2023-05-07 |language=en-US}}</ref> Their cars participated in 18 Grands Prix, entering a total of 52 races with their A, B, and C Type Formula 2 and Formula 1 Grand Prix Cars. They achieved 1 podium and scored 17 championship points. The name ''Connaught'' is said to derive from abbreviating ''Continental Autos'', the garage in [[Send, Surrey]], where the cars were built and which specialised in sales and repair of European sports cars such as [[Bugatti]], but given the spelling may reference the Irish province of [[Connaught]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://atlasf1.autosport.com/2001/can/preview/okeefe.html |access-date=2025-05-10|website=Atlas F1 Magazine|title=Team Connaught: Remembrance of Things Fast|language=en}}</ref>
