What Was New

Up to 30 Sep 2007

20 Sep 2007: A new programme search starts: the South African F1 series of the 1960s and 1970s. Do you have a programme from that series? Would you be willing to send a scan or copy of the entry list?
18 Sep 2007: Both Chevron B28s changed hands last month and are now with Ross Maxwell and Daryl Taylor.
24 Aug 2007: In response to grumblings of discontent, the FSV resources page has been added back into the site. It's not much, but apparently you value it.
21 Aug 2007: New site goes live. Yes, it looks just like the old site, but all the underlying technology has been changed so you should find it noticeably quicker. The changes were necessary due to the huge increase in race results coming soon...
12 Aug 2007: The summer has been quiet here because big changes are afoot. In the meantime, thanks to Peter Howarth for progressing the Atlantic programme hunt.
24 Jun 2007: Another update to Where Are They Now from Richard Jenkins. Also an update to the McRae GM1 page as a number of cars have recently changed hands.
30 May 2007: McKee addict Paul Dudiak has bought himself a second McKee Mk 12. And a note for your diary: Road America is hosting a McKee reunion on 19-22 July with 19 cars expected to attend.
14 may 2007: More things that we can do for you. Our new authentication and documentation service. Also, more progress on the March 73As.
13 May 2007: Ever wondered where to get those period sponsors and suppliers stickers to complete your restoration? Here's the answer.
9 May 2007: Here's something different: a motor racing memorabilia collection of clothing, helmets and books available exclusively through OldRacingCars.com.
4 May 2007: Progress on the McKee Mk 12 thanks to another excellent Norbert Vogel picture.
3 May 2007: Some progress on the mystery Chuck Frederick McKee Formula A car thanks to Dave Frederick's research. Also, Lothar Kremer has sent a picture of his Lola T142; Russell Greer has bought Lola T332 HU28; Reinhold Jung is still making progress with the history of his Lola T190; another Norbert Vogel picture, this time of Ray Langson's LeGrand Mk 7 and a couple of Don Markle pictures of Brian Redman's 1975-championship winning Lola T332 HU45 and Eppie Wietzes' Lola T400 HU9.
30 Apr 2007: Yet more new McLaren M10B material including much progress on Steve Durst's car.
25 Apr 2007: Huge progress on the Can-Am program hunt thanks to Don Markle and his friend Bruce Perry (who have provided 22 entry lists!) and Jon Hromada (another six).
24 Apr 2007: More Lola T142 pictures from David Pearson in South Africa. Also, one of Paddy Driver's McLaren M10B and one of Bob Olthoff's McLaren M3A.
22 Apr 2007: Lots of new information on the McLaren M10Bs including great pictures from Norbert Vogel and a history of the M10B-like Vebra sprint car.
20 Apr 2007: The McLaren M10B histories are now online. This is one of the most complex histories so far and much more information is still needed to resolve the cars racing in minor events in the UK in the mid-1970s and also to sort out where some of the cars are today. Former owners Jim Moore, John Wallwork, Bob Leckie, Noel le Tissier, John Taylor, John Bailey, Harry Phillips, Dennis Basson, Pierre Soukry and Clive Santo could help greatly, as could Vebra owner Clive Bracy. Anyone in touch with any of them?
16 Apr 2007: The Lotus 70 page benefits from a couple of pictures from Norbert Vogel. Also, Phil Henny, whose book on Bob Bondurant is out in June, has been talking to Don Dierking and has solved some Lola T140 and Lola T190 mysteries.
14 Apr 2007: Much progress on the F5000 Vulcan thanks to Wolfgang Klopfer who has been talking with George Alderman and Steve Durst. But where are those two cars now? Anyone seen them since 1972?
8 Apr 2007: Old F5000s do end up in some interesting places. I am grateful to Norbert Vogel and Jeremy Jackson for photos of Lola T400s in GT racing and in Belgian hillclimbs. Also, Frank Lyons has bought a T400 for the coming Derek Bell Trophy season.
3 Apr 2007: (An update to Where Are They Now occured on this date but was not noted at the time - AB 3 May 2007)
1 Apr 2007: Two more cars moving for the new season: Stephen Gibson has bought John Monson's Surtees TS8 [05] and Neil Glover has bought Mike Wrigley's Lola T330/332 [HU23B].
30 Mar 2007: Reinhold Jung has been working hard to research the history of his Lola T190 and has positively identified it as the Roger Penske/Mark Donohue car.
25 Mar 2007: More images, this time by Alan Cox, added to the Chevron, Chevron B28, Lola T332 (HU35 and HU62) and Trojan T101 pages.
23 Mar 2007: Another picture of Tony Dean's Chevron B24 thanks to Graham Etheridge.
14 Mar 2007: Yet another car has emerged claiming to be John Cannon's former F5000 car. See the March 73A page for details.
13 Mar 2007: Thanks to Michael Barrett, the last UK F5000 programme has been found. Still plenty of F/Atlantic programs to find though. And, as Chris pointed out to me yesterday, if you have a F/Atlantic program with the late entrants, grid or results filled in, please send a scan even if it's not marked as being needed. Also, LeGrand Mk7 progress thanks to Walt Taylor and John Hancock.
10 Mar 2007: The UK programme hunt has taken some more significant steps forward thanks to Tim Barry, Adam Ferrington and others. Please check if you can help with F5000 or F/Atlantic entry lists.
7 Mar 2007: Two more F2 model histories have been compiled by Andrew Fellowes, the Brabham BT23 and the Brabham BT23C.
27 Feb 2007: The Echappement collection continues to advance (the hard way, through Ebay). Loans or copies would be most welcome.
26 Feb 2007: We now know who built the Vulcan Formula A car! Thanks are due to old friend and F5000 historian Wolfgang Klopfer for this discovery.
21 Feb 2007: A new update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?. Also, as part of the F2 research, OldRacingcars.com is now collecting the French magazine Echappement and would appreciate any help completing the collection.
9 Feb 2007: Greg Wold's March 73A has gone to Nick Smith. Thanks to both Greg and Nick for keeping me up to date. Also, my thanks to Karl Jenstad for three more Can-Am program entry lists.
7 Feb 2007: Former LeGrand Mk 7 owner Art Eatman has been in touch and moved things forward nicely. Anyone know recent LeGrand owners Mark VanLoucks, Tom Dooley, Tim Joyce, Bill Carlander or John Mayer?
6 Feb 2007: Lots of updates to the new Lola T142 page: David Gathercole has provided details of his ex-Kroll car, David Hutson has more on the Keith Saunders car and Andrew Reeser has resolved Mel Andrus's car.
1 Feb 2007: At last, the Lola T142 page. This is proving the most difficult model to research so please get in touch if you have information on any of the T140s or T142s.
9 Jan 2007: A couple of updates on the March 73As ready for the new racing season.
8 Jan 2007: Another picture to help with the never-ending Surtees TS5 jigsaw from former Lola T300 and Brabham BT29 racer Sandy Shepard.
2 Jan 2007: A new Brabham research page providing easy links to all the work currently going on at this site and at 10 Tenths. Also, a picture of Chip Boatright newly-acquired Lola T190. Thanks to Gerald Swan for this and other recent Lola updates.
28 Dec 2006: A new update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?, including a set of interviews Richard conducted earlier this year. Also, another F5000 Lola on the move: Chip Boatright has bought one of Chuck Haines' many Lola T190s.
21 Dec 2006: The Lola T142 hunt continues to make steady progress. David Gathercole has bought the Bakers' ex-Kroll T142 '38' and Ryan Hodges has the remains of T142 '22' in his Lola T70, including the chassis plate. If anyone owned a T142 in the 1970s or 1980s, we'd love to hear from them. Also, two more F5000 Lolas have moved: Marcus Pye and Simon Hadfield have bought Glenn Brown's Lola T332 HU52 and Bruce Fullerton has bought Simon's Lola T300 HU12.
17 Dec 2006: A second F2 model history, the Brabham BT30 compiled by Andrew Fellowes. Also, more on the LeGrand Mk 7 thanks to ex-Botsford mechanic Mike Allison. Also, Teddy Pilette has been in touch to resolve the outstanding puzzles on the Lola T400 page. Thanks Teddy. Also, a fabulous Gil Munz picture of the 1969 Formula A Eisert.
27 Nov 2006: Another significant piece of progress on the six March 73As, of which just nine survive. Pete Klain, a former owner of the ex-Indy 500 73A/3, has filled a significant gap.
19 Nov 2006: A little light has fallen on the baffling case of Larry Harley's F5000 career with the discovery of the SCCA Log Book for his Lola T330. Anyone know where to find Harley's entrant Richard Rogers?
18 Nov 2006: More progress on a couple of early F5000s, the McKee Mk 12 and the Surtees TS5A. Chris Novatny recalls restoring a couple of the mystery cars in 1989 or 1990 and has found his pictures. David Hutson also has an excellent picture of David Hobbs TS5A on its debut.
13 Nov 2006: A bumper pack of Formula Pacific results today: Australian 1983-1984, New Zealand Internationals 1982-1984 and New Zealand Gold Star 1981/82.
11 Nov 2006: We start Formula 2 results with the 1971 season when young stars Ronnie Peterson, Emerson Fittipaldi and François Cévert fought for the title in March 712M, Brabham BT36 and Tecno TF71. Chris Townsend has done his usual impeccable job, solidly identifying virtually every car, just Hervé Bayard's Chevron B18 escaping. Anyone have detailed 1971 French Hill Climb results?
10 Nov 2006: It's never wise to feed an obsession but my thanks to Peter McFadyen and Adam Ferrington for further Chevron B24 pictures: the missing Wunderink car and the mystery Richard Simms vehicle.
9 Nov 2006: A new experimental area makes its début today, intended to allow a larger number of researchers to contribute directly to OldRacingCars.com. First articles are Andrew Fellows' history of the Brabham BT36 and a series of interviews conducted by Richard Jenkins as part of "Where Are They Now". Also, at the risk of being told I am obsessed with figuring out Tony Dean's Chevron B24s, Steve Wilkinson has supplied another picture of The Dean's first one.
8 Nov 2006: Today sees a major and much overdue cleanup to all the results pages. With OldRacingCars.com now featuring cars from 53 different formulae, from Indy and Group 7 sports to Clubmans and Formula V; and competing in over 60 categories of racing as widely varied as Argentinian Fórmula 1 de la Mecánica Nacional and the Championnat de France de la Montagne, a more precise description of each car's specification has become necessary. Nothing can ever be perfect; contact Allen if you spot anything that isn't right.
7 Nov 2006: Still on the theme of Formula Atlantic, the 1985 WCAR and ECAR results are now available. This was the first year of ECAR, as North American Formula Atlantic continued its recovery from the disaster of Formula Mondial in 1983.
6 Nov 2006: More British Formula Atlantic results, with the addition of the 1979, 1982 and 1983 seasons. 1979 saw the revival of Atlantic in Britain after two seasons but 1982 and 1983 document its final decline and fall.
5 Nov 2006: Another update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?.
4 Nov 2006: A big new change today, as you may have spotted already from the menu above. Formula 2 comes to OldRacingcars.com for the first time with the promise of more of Chris Townsend's immaculately researched race results and lots of new constructor and model histories. It's a huge new subject so offers of help will be warmly welcomed.
3 Nov 2006: A major expansion to the British Sprint Championship results, where all the 1970s results are now available. Thanks to Steve Wilkinson for his detailed research. Also an update to the Lola T330s where the fate of Eddie Miller's HU9 is now known.
31 Oct 2006: In honour of Jerry Eisert, who died earlier this year at the age of 74, a new page covering his 1965-1967 'Harrison Special' Indycars.
24 Oct 2006: A few more results in the F5000 results section - these from very early days of Formula A in 1965. The biggest Formula A race of the year, the Colorado Grand Prix, attracted a good field but two other big races, Juarez and Vacaville, were inexplicably arranged for the same day.
21 Oct 2006: The Can-Am program search has been given a big boost by Ian Crawford who has provided ten Mosport Park entry lists. There are still 59 to go. Can you help?
20 Oct 2006: Another new history: the LeGrand Mk 7, the first US built 5-litre Formula A car and winner of the National level race held to that formula. Lots of help needed with this one!
11 Oct 2006: The first movement in the Lola T142 hunt - Dino Crescentini's mystery car is the one now owned by Mead Korwin. I also suspect the reference to a "Robert Korvin" driving a T142 might be Mead Korwin too.
10 Oct 2006: The Lola T142 is proving one of the most difficult cars to decypher as the cars carried both a chassis number and a frame number - and the two numbers rarely agreed. So the hunt is on to find every surviving T142 and document both its numbers. Can you help?
19 Sep 2006: A new F5000 page: the Eagle 755.
15 Sep 2006: Much work on the Lola T332s has sorted out the history of HU51 and HU52. Thanks to Johan Woerheide and Marcus Pye for their efforts. Also thanks to Marcus for an update on the Chevron B32. Also, yet more information plus pictures on the Cheetah Racing Cars page.
13 Sep 2006: A major update to the Cheetah Racing Cars page thanks to a number of owner contributions.
4 Sep 2006: Following Richard Jenkins' two new sections on Where Are They Now?, he has a big update on the newcomers.
27 Aug 2006: Another addition from Chris Townsend to the Formula Atlantic area where the 1977 South African results are now online
26 Aug 2006: A big update to the Formula Atlantic area where the 1973 UK results are now available.
17 Aug 2006: A little more on the Chevron B32 which Roy Lane owned in 1984 when Ayers drove it. Anyone know that car's movements up to the present day?
16 Aug 2006: Two steps forward and one step back on the Trojan T101 where one or two puzzles have been solved but new mysteries have emerged. Where has Jody Scheckter's 1973 US title-winning car got to?
15 Aug 2006: Progress of sorts on the Surtees TS8, where we now know that the utterly mysterious Alan Shaw car was used at Llandow from the start of 1973 to the end of 1975. Then what? And who is Alan Shaw?
14 Aug 2006: Richard Jenkins has introduced two new sections to Where Are They Now?, one covering the 90 or so CART and IRL drivers who aren't already in the Indy 500 section; and a "Team bosses" section, covering 335 of the key players in F1 since 1950: from Ben Agathangelou to Heinz Zollner.
13 Aug 2006: An update to the Lola T190 page where Nick Gurney has provided a picture of Mike Hailwood's early season car. More updates to follow over the next few days now "the staff" are back from holiday.
7 Jul 2006: The photo captions aren't working so they've been revamped on two pages as a test: Lola T140 and Lola T330. All comments would be most welcome before the long job of converting every other page begins. Email Allen.
5 Jul 2006: A quick update to the McRae GM1 where Dave Cogman has contributed a picture of chassis 015 early in its eventful life.
21 Jun 2006: A small update to the Lola T332s where Jim Rollins reports that Leonard Janke still owns his car. That's 30 T332s now found.
10 Jun 2006: Updates to the Cooper T53 and Cheetah pages.
8 Jun 2006: An update to Where Are They Now? from Richard Jenkins.
25 May 2006: A new marque history for Cheetah Racing Cars. This is a new avenue for OldRacingCars.com and all information, including background information, would be most welcome.
12 May 2006: Two more F5000 programs are crossed off: John Conway has supplied the 1971 Mondello program and Henk Hazelaar has found that no programme was published for the cancelled June 1973 Zandvoort event.
27 Apr 2006: Progress on the Lola T140s (at last!). Lucien Eddisford's SL140/13 has been positively identified as the Brian O'Neil car.
26 Apr 2006: An interesting picture of the Formula A McLaren built out of a Can-Am McLaren Mk 2 by Joe Starkey. Anyone know where that is now?
26 Apr 2006: The Formula Super Vee section, which OldRacingCars.com was 'babysitting' after John Robinson's site was closed down, is now being actively maintained on David R. Flesher's Historic FSV Register website. We're now relieved of duty and OldRacingCars.com's copy of the material has been taken down. I wish David every success with the register.
23 Apr 2006: Lots of updates to 1975 Canadian Formula Atlantic identifications: Fred Stevenson's Lotus 69 [71/69.6.FB], Bob Lazier's March 722 [6], Ross Bentley's Johnston (not Argo) JM6 [1] and Ron Householder's Brabham BT40 [37]; plus further detail to the results. The ex-Alan Jones/Bev Bond March 74B/U1 has also been sorted out. In Can-Am, practice times for Elkhart Lake 1977, Mosport 1978, Mosport 1980 and Elkhart Lake 1980 have been added, all kindly transcribed by long-time ORC friend and contributor Wolfgang Klopfer. Some F5000 car movements: Chevron B24 73-07 has joined Aaron Lewis's stable, Franz Guggemos now has Surtees TS5A/007, Frank Lyons has Lola T330/332 HU12 and Tim Slack has Surtees TS8/006. And finally, Henk Hazelaar has sent a fourth Zandvoort F5000 program.
17 Apr 2006: A batch of European F5000 programs from Henk Hazelaar, knocking three Zandvoorts and a Zolder from the list.
16 Apr 2006: More Formula 5000 results: Glenn Moulds has supplied the 1976 Australian Internationals and the Australian Gold Star season.
15 Apr 2006: More Formula Atlantic results: the 1977 Canadian series, the 1983 Formula Mondial North America Cup and the 1984 WCAR series; another impeccable piece of work by Chris Townsend. Also, as a small bonus, the two Formula B races held in Bogotá early in 1972, produced with the help of Gus Hutchison and John Humphries.
5 Apr 2006: Another UK F5000 program from Adam Ferrington. Only Snetterton (27 Mar 1977) and Thruxton (31 May 1976) are still needed. It was raining heavily that day at Snetterton; maybe nobody went?
1 Apr 2006: An update to the Surtees TS8 page where Dr John Monson's car had been omitted from the line-up. Also, Ian Jacobs has bought the Leda LT25 and a Lotus 70 has been sold to the Barber Museum.
30 Mar 2006: The latest update to Where Are They Now? from Richard Jenkins.
25 Mar 2006: Tom Schultz has a supplied a wonderful batch of photographs from 1968 including all but one of the "mystery" Lola T140s.
22 Mar 2006: Another UK F5000 program from Tim Dudley. Only Silverstone (Aug 1973), Snetterton (Mar 1977) and Thruxton (May 1976) are now left.
21 Mar 2006: The search for UK Formula Atlantic programs has taken a big leap forward today. We now only need another 20. Please take a look at the list and see if you can help.
18 Mar 2006: Some updates to the Lola T140 as more information arrives plus an update to the Chevron B24 page to bring it up to date with B28 discoveries and the Chevron B28 page where both mystery cars have recently changed hands. Also Jim Utting has found another F5000 program so we're down to just 4 UK ones
12 Mar 2006: Much more on the Lola T140, especially the effort to make sense of the South African cars. Also, Ian Jacobs has bought the Leda LT25 and plans to race it in the UK.
9 Mar 2006: Jim Utting has sent scans of the missing 1971 Snetterton F5000 entry list so only five more UK entry lists are still to be found. Somebody must have gone to Snetterton in 1977!
7 Mar 2006: My thanks for yet more F5000 and Atlantic programs from Tim Cogman and Steve Wilkinson. Also a first USAC program contribution from Russ Wakeman.
4 Mar 2006: More on the Surtees TS5s where Rob van Westenberg has been able to trace his car right back and we now know more about the late Tom Juckette's car.
3 Mar 2006: Steve Wilkinson has contributed a batch of pictures of F5000 cars in UK hill climbs in the 1970s and 1980s. Amongst these are Phil Prince's McRae GM1 and John Lambert's indefatigable Leda LT22. Also more programs from Andrew Kitson and David Neilson.
2 mar 2006: Thanks to Morten Alstrup for contributing the Jyllands-Ringen F5000 program from Sep 1973. There are still another 24 programs needed from the F5000 races held at Anderstorp (1970), Hockenheim (1969, 1970, 1971), Koksijde (1969), Misano (1973), Mondello Park (1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973), Monza (1970, 1971, 1974), Mugello (1974), Nivelles-Baulers (1972), Salzburgring (1970), Zandvoort (1969, 1970, Jul 1973, Sep 1973, 1975) and Zolder (1970, 1975). All we need are scans of the entry lists (and one of the cover ideally). Can anyone help?
1 Mar 2006: It's 1 March and Spring is in the air. All right; Spring is just around the corner, but Google have a daffodil in their logo today and that must count for something. So time to throw off those drab colours and get into something crisp and bright. Which is another way of saying that OldRacingCars.com has had a redesign.
27 Feb 2006: Adam Ferrington was busy at the Stoneleigh Autojumble and found 26 more F5000 and Atlantic programs. There are just 34 F5000 and 35 Atlantics still to find.
19 Feb 2006: A complete revamp of OldRacingCars.com photos today. Stuart Dent, of TNF and Autocourse, has tirelessly worked through nearly 200 images adjusting the colour, cleaning off imperfections, recropping and otherwise transforming the image. As a result of his lessons, another 50 or so images, previously through too poor to use, have been rescued and added to the pages. The black-and-white images, about 20% of the total, now need to be rescanned to bring them to the same standard. Be warned that one disadvantage of the clean up is that images will now take a little longer to load.
12 Feb 2006: A long overdue update to the results database includes Chris Townsend's detailed notes on the 1971 British Formula Atlantic cars.
11 Feb 2006: Updates in the F5000 area on the Lola T140 and the Lola T300 where HU12 has been resolved and HU2 is looking clearer.
29 Jan 2006: Another new history page: the March 76A.
27 Jan 2006: More on Cooper's contribution to the early years of Formula A and more information in on the Lola T140s. And photographs of both.
26 Jan 2006: The January update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?. Richie has new or revised information on 102 drivers in this update!
13 Jan 2006: A new set of histories: the Lola T140. These cars have been very hard to trace and any help would be most welcome. Also, a bumper set of F5000 updates: more on Dennis Leech's Chevron B24; John Monson has bought a Chevron B28; new pictures from Alan Cox in the Lola T300 and Lotus 70 pages; a new picture of Lola T330 HU17 from Stuart Dent; more background on some of the Lola T332s; Terry Walker has provide pictures of the Matich A50 and Matich A51; more pictures of the McRae GM1; another Surtees TS5 picture from Tom Schultz and also another TS5 is also found; and finally a picture of Anthony Goddard's beautiful Surtees TS11.
29 Dec 2005: Another batch of entry lists has arrived: British Formula 5000 and Formula Atlantics from Adam Ferrington and Chris Stoddart; South African F1 from Michael Oliver; Canadian FA (entry lists and also race results) from John Lindsay and Ted Smith. Also Formula magazines have been very kindly contributed by Lloyd Burkett and John Ryan.
20 Dec 2005: A bumper new update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?. Plus, two more Atlantic programs from Justin Harrington and two F5000 programs from Glenn Moulds. Glen has also established that it was Matich A51/53-005 that won the 1976 Australian GP, not A53-007 as we previously had recorded. Plus, oops - I missed a couple more programs from Glenn.
5 Dec 2005: The Lola T400s move forward significantly thanks to news from Kevin Shirvington, owner of HU1 and HU4. Also a puzzling anonymously supplied picture of Lola T300 HU7.
4 Dec 2005: The 1976 Shellsport G8 Championship results have been on the site for a while but I've only just remembered to mention it. Sorry! This is one of the most complicated seasons with a bewildering array of 5-litre, 3.4-litre, Atlantic, F2 and libre machinery on display. My thanks to Chris Townsend (again) but also to all those on 10 Tenths who have helped us understand which car was which.
3 Dec 2005: A big update to the McKee Mk 12s thanks to Paul Dudiak, the new owner of the ex-Reinold car.
1 Dec 2005: A major expansion of the Formula Atlantic and Formula B results with the addition of UK Formula Atlantic 1971, US Formula B 1972 and the Canadian Formula Atlantic 1978. Chris Townsend is preparing 'Notes on the Cars' to appear soon.
27 Nov 2005: A major rethink the Surtees TS5s thanks to former owner/drivers Robert Fischetti and Hamilton Vose III. Does anyone have programs or photographs from the 1970 and 1971 US seasons?
23 Nov 2005: Results for the 1976 Australian Gold Star season are now available, thanks to Glenn Moulds. Glenn has also provided another picture of a Matich A50.
12 Nov 2005: A big update on the Matich A50. Four newly discovered pictures of the A50s in Australia and the US in 1973 and an update on the state of A50-002. Particular thanks to Glenn Moulds for the two Aussie pictures.
10 Nov 2005: The 2005/06 Flexoplas NZ Express F5000 Revival Series kicks off this weekend at Manfeild Autocourse in New Zealand. 10 F5000s are expected for this race and there may be as many as 30 later in the series. OldRacingCars.com would be happy to publish information on any other (relevant) historic racing series next season.
26 Oct 2005: More photographs from Kumalo and Thruxton: see the Surtees TS5, Lola T190 and McLaren M18 pages. Thanks to Doug Brown and Richard Clayson for these. Also, at the last update, I forgot to mention another large haul of Indy car notes. I will come up with a more structured way to access those notes in due course.
21 Oct 2005: I know you weren't expecting the 1973 Caracas Formula B Coppa Presidente de la Republica, but one never knows what Chris Townsend will uncover next. Elsewhere, in F5000 there are more pictures of the Lola T430 and more on the whereabouts of HU2.
17 Oct 2005: Another new page - on the Lola T430. Thanks to David Abbott for prompting this with his updates and photographs.
14 Oct 2005: Lawrence Sufryn still has his Leda LT25 and it's for sale. Contact Allen if you want his email address.
2 Oct 2005: A new update to Richard Jenkins' Where Are They Now?.
1 Oct 2005: Another new page on the Chevron B28. Just the five photographs but as there were only two B28s that's not a bad average.
