Gee it would be wonderful to have some marque names of those beautiful formula juniors in the last 5 posts.

Google is your friend Terry... It is where I have to do a lot of research to find out what is missing from other sources.Originally Posted by Terry S
Suggest you give it a try sometime. The FJ's are on a Diamond Jubilee tour and usually keep the same race numbers, so it isn't exactly rocket science to find out what you want.
For example, Post #759 quite clearly states 'Colin McKay' on the car, so typing in 'Colin McKay Formula Junior' comes up with the answer straightaway.
Brilliant photographs Nigel, as always.

That angle you snapped those F5000s on is just awesome Nigel. Definitely the best profile for these cars.
It's the middle of the S bends between the back straight & pit straight.
Detail so sharp at this speed , I can see the family name on 12
What make of car is this?
It's a Lotus 70

Thanks Ken, greatly appreciated. Easy to recognise the Lotus 18, but not the others.
The F5000's are easy because more well known and recent, but FJ's are beautiful in themselves.
Terry,
I mistakenly did not enter the # 251 car of Nigel Russell on which he did a beautiful reconstruction of an Italian built Fiat powered Stanguellini, which had originally been sold to the Rodriguez brothers, Pedro and Ricardo, in Mexico.
Nigel deserves a special mention on a job well done.
