Historic Formula Junior Racing

I took this photograph at Britten's chicane during the Historic Formula Junior Championship race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2005.
Leading is Simon Diffey in his 1961 Lotus 20 followed by Mike Hibberd in a 1963 Lotus 27 with the 1963 Lola Mk5A of Robin Longden bringing up the rear.

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.

Formula Junior Racing

I took this photograph during the AMOC Miller Oils Historic Formula Junior Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 2002.
The leading car here at Lodge Corner is the 1963 (though it says 1959 in the programme) Lola MK5A of Robin Longden who is leading Mark Woodhouse in his 1961 Lotus 20, both cars appearing to have the 1,098cc Ford Cosworth engine. Robin Longden's car, chassis #BRJ-55, was originally owned by Eric Offenstadt, and the history of the car is shown in this Lola Heritage article. I can't find any information about the history of the Lotus.
