Formula Atlantic
This page will record progress of the Formula Atlantic project which also covers Formula Pacific and Formula B. The 10 Tenths Historic Forum is hosting much of the research discussion; now on the 'Formula Atlantic Database' thread but the older 'Chevron B29s' thread, and the 'Formula Atlantic' thread on the Atlas F1 Nostalgia Forum are also worth a browse.
Programmes and photographs are especially needed. Please join in on the the 'Formula Atlantic Database' discussion threads but, if in doubt, e-mail Allen at allen@oldracingcars.com.

A series of races were held in Ireland to 1600cc rules from 1967 until the formal adoption of Formula Atlantic in 1974. Australian National Formula 2 was for 1600cc cars from 1969 ownards, firstly to F2 rules, then for twin-cams and later using single-cam engines such as the VW Golf. Races in South East Asia were generally limited to 1600cc from 1973 onwards until the Macau GP formally adopted Formula Pacific in 1977.
All UK, Irish, North American, New Zealand and South African results have been compiled by Chris Townsend with the exception of two early US FB seasons: 1970 by Jim Thurman and 1971 by Allen Brown. The Australian Formula Pacific results (1981-84) were also compiled by Chris, the Australian National F2 series for 1974 by Curt Bond and the Japanese Formula Pacific results by Michael Ferner.
