Harris-Costin Protos F2 Many of the drivers who progressed through the standard single-seater stages of racing in Europe in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s recall Formula 2 as the most enjoyable part of their racing careers. The cars were fast, they brought out the best in the drivers, and the...

From 1964-1978, a series of flat-bottomed, formula cars were manufactured to serve as a stepping stone to Formula One and the upper echelons of open-wheeled racing. In the late ’50s, F2 and F3 were consolidated into Formula Jr. However, with that category’s demise at the end of 1963, F2 was...

I have just marked my half-century of being a motor racing enthusiast. On February 1, 1957, I bought a copy of Motor Sport. Many years later, I was chatting with James Weaver at Silverstone, who said, “Bloody Denis Jenkinson, it’s thanks to him I’m in my current mess.” In 1957,...
