1950 Comet MkI F3

This was one of the competitors in the F3 500s race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Formula Vintage meeting at Oulton Park in May 2019.
It's Duncan Rabagliati in his 1950 Comet MkI at Britten's chicane during the morning practice session. The Comet MkI was built by Brian Heyward and his father to replace an aged Cooper MkIV and it originally had a JAP engine, later replaced with a Norton unit. There's a 500 Owners Association site that has lots of details about the 500cc Formula 3 years, including details of the many different marques that were created for the Formula.
Here's the Comet at Druids Corner during the race.
