A Formula Ford 1600 Photo Story - the Formula Ford 1600´s driven by John Nichols 
(Winner of the Autosport Competition to design a London Grand Prix Circuit)

 Lotus FF51 - Oscar FF69 - Reynard FF75 - Merlyn Mk 20 - Van Diemen RF86 - Reynard FF89 - Reynard FF89/92 - Sponsorship required
Lotus FF51
Lotus FF51     Silverstone - England
Racing Drivers School.  I was training on the day that Jim Clarke had his fateful accident at the German Grand Prix.  Words cannot describe the atmosphere in the pits when the sad news was released, but practice went on.
Oscar FF69
Oscar FF69     Silverstone - England
The one and only Oscar built but still in the record books - can you see the Cooper F1 influence?  Designed by Frank Boyles with engine by Oselli Engineering.  3rd first time out at Castle Combe driven by Brian Smith author of "Going Formula Ford".  I took the car over when the partnership between Frank Boyles, Oselli and myself was dissolved.  Wonder if the chassis is still aroundanywhere?
Upside down at Castle Combe
Exiting Tower corner at Castle Combe I hit two spinning cars and this Hawke (with STP sticker on its underside) landed on top of me!   It was the STP sticker that got the photo of the accident the following week into  the magazine AUTOSPORT (Luckily last race of the season) - who was responsible for the sticker?

 First race next year going into Beckets at Silverstone on the GP circuit in practice the 
steering wheel came off into my chest, the bolts having sheared due to stress from this 
accident! Managed to stop in a straight line without mounting the banking

1974 Lotus Europa Special
LOTUS EUROPA SPECIAL
Jarama  (Madrid) - Spain
Just keeping my hand with a little bit of practice on the Spanish 
plain - no rain!  1974 to 1976 between my Formula Ford races in England

 

Reynard FF75 chassis no 001
REYNARD FF75     Silverstone - England
Chassis number 01 - the first production Reynard FF1600.  Best result 17th of 105 at Silverstone when Derek Warwick finished 10th in the works Hawke
Merlyn Mk 20
MERLYN MK20     Thruxton - England
The other Brensec  Race Car Hire chassis.  This was driven by a driver from Majorca that went on to Formula One
Van Diemen RF86/Scholar
VAN DIEMEN RF86/SCHOLAR   Jarama  (Madrid) Spain
The first car sold in Spain to itc racing in 1986 which I raced until 1991
Reynard FF89 Auriga
REYNARD FF89    Albacete - Spain
The first corner on this circuit can take a lot of cars out on the first lap.  I have exited here twice, being able to continue once (Van Diemen) but when I took delivery of the Reynard there, the starter motor let me down when I had to take to the infield to avoid the multiple crash in front of me.
Reynard FF89/92
REYNARD FF89/92     Estoril (Lisbon) - Portugal
One of the circuits that I enjoy most together with Jerez.  Was 7th of the Spanish drivers in a field of 36 in one race.  Used to put Vaseline on the tyres so if the Portuguese drivers hit us they would  bounce off! Pedro de la Rosa now in Formula One (Jaguar Cosworth) was winning the races here and in Spain.
Van Diemen 360 spin
VAN DIEMEN RF86     Jerez (Andalucia) - Spain
Oversteer entering the pit straight resulted in a 360 degree spin without loosing speed!  I do not  remember what happened between the oversteer and riding the piano strip!  I was told it afterwards - photographic evidence! - the crowd enjoyed it - they applauded and rose to their feet according to my mechanic and friends. First season since 1977!  What for 2002?
 

thank you itc limited for providing the cars between 1986 and 1995.  without your help I could not have raced

THE LONDON GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT
Designed by me and which won the AUTO SPORT competition in 1968 for an around the houses circuit and was nearly put to use in 1980 by a group of business men.  I think that the 2007 Tour de France uses the same design
London Grand Prix Circuit that won the Autosport Competition held in 1968/69

In the future despite my years I would like one good fully sponsored season in the Spanish Formula 3 Championship

While it does not enjoy the same high profile of the Formula Three Euroseries, the Spanish championship has become successful by actively taking measures to control budget requirements. This provides a more achievable option for drivers who lack the major sponsorship portfolio that is required by leading Euroseries teams, and would otherwise have to look elsewhere for their next step up the career ladder.

The Spanish F3 Championship employs an approach to chassis and engine choice that is also used in Asian F3, in which the open Formula Three system of multiple chassis and engine manufacturers is rejected in favour of a single choice of supplier. All competitors must use Toyota's F3 engine, which is built by TOM's, and chassis from the ubiquitous Italian constructor, Dallara. Championship-class competitors are expected to use a chassis specification from the current generation: most teams use the F305 specification from 2005, which is still popular in the leading F3 championships.
