Historic Formula Ford

I took this photograph at Brittens chicane on the first lap of the Historic Formula Ford race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2017.

Leading is Dan Eagling in his 1969 Lotus 61MX from Michael Wrigley in a 1970 Lotus 59. The following cars are Kevin Stanzl's 1971 Crossle 20F, Gregory Thornton's 1967 Titan Mk3/4, Cormac Flanagan's 1968 Alexis Mk14, and you can just see the nose of the 1971 Merlyn Mk20 of  Tim Brise.

1969 Lotus 61

This was one of the competitors in the HSCC Formula Ford Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's the 1969 Lotus 61 of Kevin Stanzl and has a 1,599cc 4-cylinder inline Ford Kent engine that was originally developed for the 1959 Ford Anglia, and styling reminiscent of the Lotus 56 which contested the 1968 Indianapolis 500 race.
