Formula Junior Cars

These three cars took part in the HSCC/FJHRA Historic Formula Junior Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008.

Number 78 is the 1963 Brabham BT6 of Hong Kong driver Mark Amez-Droz which is possibly chassis FJ-11-63. Number 79 is the 1963 Lotus 27 of Swiss driver Urs Eberhardt and probably chassis 27/JM/14. Car number 5 is the 1963 Lola Mk5A of Swiss driver Philipp Buhofer.

1963 Brabham BT6

This car competed in the Historic Formula Racing Cars Pre '65 Single Seater Championship Race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's the 1963 Brabham BT6 of Chris Alford, originally built as a Formula Junior car with an engine with a maximum capacity of 1 litre, but according to the programme of the event had a 1,500cc engine. A total of 20 Brabham BT6 Formula Junior cars were built and they are listed on this website, but it doesn't indicate which of these cars was the one owned by Chris Alford.

1966 Cooper BRM

This car competed in the HSCC Classic Racing Cars race at the HSCC's Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2004.

It's Paul Busby's 1966 Cooper T82 BRM, chassis #F2-2-66, originally built by Cooper as a Formula 2 car for Jo Bonnier Racing with a 996cc inline-4 BRM P80 F2 engine. It was driven by Jo Bonnier himself, and by Jo Siffert and Giancarlo Baghetti amongst others in European F2 races in 1966.

Here's Paul Busby at Foulstons chicane during the race followed by the 1963 Brabham BT6 of Ned Spieker, the 1969 Merlyn Mk11a of Mike Bromley and the 1969 Lotus 61 of Alan Hicks.

On 2 April 2015 I showed photographs of this car at Oulton Park in 2002.
