Guards F5000 Championship round

Oulton Park, 4 Apr 1969

All cars are 5-litre F5000 unless noted.

Notes on the cars:

1. Lotus 18 [910] (Mike Panico): Sold new to Chris Summers (Coventry, Warwickshire). Although shown in Lotus records as a F1/2 car, chassis 910 was used by Summers in Formula Junior in 1960. According to Duncan Rabagliati's records, Summers sold the car to Tom Norton who used it for hillclimbs during 1961 using a 1220cc Coventry Climax engine. From Norton it went to Adrian Andrews but he lost interest in the car and sold it in 1964 to Mike Treutlein. Treutlein fitted a 4.7-litre Chevrolet V8 engine driving through an inverted VW gearbox and used it in sprints at Duxford aerodrome. The next owners are recorded as Bill Grabham and Tom Faulkener but soon it was in the hands of Clive Bracey who used it in one race at Brands Hatch but found it unstable and sold it to Mike Panico (Shepton Mallet, Somerset). Panico entered it for a couple of F5000 races in 1969 but later converted it to use a supercharged Lotus twin cam engine and used it in libre racing and in hillclimbs in southwest England, entered by Moff Motors (Castle Cary, Somerset). After sitting in a barn for some years, it was bought by Barrie Carter and then passed via Mark Green to Colin Nursey who took it to Peter Denty for restoration in 2012.
