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.

1960 Lotus 20 & 1970 Brabham BT30

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008.
On the left is the David Grunberg's 1960 Lotus 20 which is a car built by Lotus for Formula Junior racing and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,098cc Ford Cosworth engine. The car on the right is the Formula 2 1970 Brabham BT30 of Lincoln Small which has a 1,600cc BMW engine. It is chassis BT30/16 and was originally purchased by Tom Wheatcroft for Derek Bell to drive in the 1970 European Formula 2 Championship, finishing the season in second place to Clay Reggazoni.

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.
