Formula Ford Racing

 

This is a photograph that I took at the Knickerbrook chicane during the HSCC Historic Formula Ford race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

Leading is Gary Pearson in his 1971 Merlyn Mk20 followed by the 1971 Crossle 20F of Mike Whatley and the 1969 Lotus 61 of Simon Hadfield.

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.

Merlyn Racing Cars

I took the photographs of these two Merlyns at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992. Merlyn cars were produced by Colchester Racing Developments from 1960 to 1979, mainly for Formula Junior, Formula 3 and Formula Ford racing

This is the 1971 Merlyn Mk20 of John Pearson with a 1.6 litre Ford engine and built for Formula Ford racing. It competed in the HSCC Historic Formula Ford race at this meeting.

This car took part in the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship race which was open for Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula 5000 cars. This Merlyn Mk21 of Alf Skeels competed in the Formula 3 Class and also had a 1.6 litre Ford engine.
