1959 Lola MkII FJ

I took this photograph on the approach to Druids Corner during the Lenham Storage Formula Junior Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986. 

It's Tony Steele in his 1959 Lola MkII Formula Junior car which appears to have a 4-cylinder online Ford Kent 1,098cc engine. 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 and Formula Junior has continued to be featured at historic racing events.

Historic Formula Junior Championship

Here are some cars lining up in the marshalling area in the paddock ready to take to the track for a practice session for the Historic Formula Junior Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting in September 1992

The race included classes for rear-engined Formula Junior cars, front-engined Formula Junior cars, 500cc Formula Three cars and Historic Formula Three (1964 to 1970) cars. The four cars here are, from the top, David Noble's 1959 Gemini Mk2 and Tony Steele's 1959 Lola Mk2, both of which were in the front-engined Farmula Junior class, then Robert Baker-Carr's 1967 Brabham BT21B and Ray Harper's 1965 Merlyn Mk 9, which were both in the Historic Formula Three class.
