1963 Lotus 22

This car competed in The Lenham Storage Formula Junior Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.

It's Brian Horwood's 1963 Lotus 22 with what the programme of the event says is a 1,000cc engine. The Lotus 22 was developed from the Lotus 20 and was primarily intended for Formula Junior racing, 77 cars being produced between 1962 and 1965.

Formula Junior Racing

Formula Junior was introduced in 1959 as a class of racing where younger drivers could be introduced to single-seater racing. It ended when Formula 2 and Formula 3 were re-introduced to the racing scene for the 1964 season. Formula Junior has continued to be featured at historic racing events and here are some of the cars which contested the Lenham Storage Formula Junior Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.
