1969 Lola T142

This is a photograph that I took on the approach to Lodge Corner during the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's the 1969 Lola T142 of Nick Buttress and is thought to be chassis SL142/37. Formula 5000 was introduced in 1968 as an open-wheel single seater Formula for cars with a maximum capacity of 5,000cc, and most cars had American V8 engines of that size with Chevrolet being the most favoured unit.

1992 Ford GT40 MkII Replica

This was in the car park overlooking the Cascades corner at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race meeting at Oulton Park in May 1992.

It's a replica of a 1960s Ford GT40 MkII apparently built by (or for) Ford dealers Timms of Leigh. The registration number denotes a car registered between 1 August 1991 and 31 July 1992 and the DVLA no longer has a record of a car with that number.

1968 Lotus Elan

This was one of the competitors in the Richardson Hosken Classic Sports Car Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's Paul Dobson's 1968 Lotus Elan and has a 1,558cc 4-cylinder inline Lotus Ford twin cam engine.

1961 Lotus Elite

This was one of the competitors in the Richardson Hosken Classic Sports Car Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's the 1961 Lotus Elite of Chris Ross which has a 1,216cc 4-cylinder inline Coventry Climax FWE engine. 1,030 of these cars were built between 1957 and 1962, although some sources say there were 1,047.

1969 Surtees TS5A

This car took part in the Historic Formula F1 and F500 Racing Cars Championship Race at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's Jon Reakes' 1969 5 litre Formula 5000 Surtees TS5A, chassis #007, a car that was originally run in the US as a Team Surtees car and initially driven by David Hobbs. The photograph was taken on the entry to Lodge Corner.

1967 McLaren M4A

This car is pictured just before Lodge Corner in the HSCC Pre '65 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's David Coplowe in his 1967 McLaren M4A Formula 2 car with a 4-cylinder inline 1.598cc Cosworth FVA engine. This car was originally driven by Piers Courage for John Coombes in the 1967 Formula 2 season and is chassis M4A/2.

1975 Chevron B31/36

This car took part in the RJB Mining Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995, competing in the class for 2 litre Group 6 cars with Hart/BMW engines built prior to 31/12/78.

It's the 1975 Chevron B31/36 of RJB Mining and was driven in the race by Mike Wilds. The Chevron B31 was a development of the B26 and was initially fitted with a 2 litre 4 cylinder Hart engine, but other engines including Cosworth and BMW M12 units were later used.

1962 Anglo American Cooper T59

This car took part in the Historic Formula Racing Cars Pre '65 Single Seater Championship Race at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's the 1962 Anglo American Cooper of Ean Pugh that was driven in the race by Mark Linstone. The car was built by Ian Burgess of Louise Bryden-Brown's Anglo American Racing team and it was based on a Cooper T59 Formula Junior car with a 1,475cc Coventry Climax FPF engine. It was entered for three Grand Prix races in the 1962 F1 season, finishing in 12th place in the British Grand Prix, 11th place in Germany, but didn't qualify for a starting place in the Italian Grand Prix. Ian Burgess was the driver on each occasion.

1969 Lotus 61

This car competed in the HSCC Historic Formula Ford race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's the 1969 Lotus 61 of Richard Winter and has a 1,599cc 4-cylinder inline Ford Kent engine that was originally developed for the 1959 Ford Anglia, and styling reminiscent of the Lotus 56 which contested the 1968 Indianapolis 500 race.

1973 March 732B

This car took part in the Single Seater Challenge/Toyota Formula 3 Race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's the 1973 March 732B of Anthony Hansford which the programme of the event says has a 2 litre engine. I can't find out much information about the car, other than it seems to have been built for Formula Atlantic racing but later converted to a Formula 2 car.

1967 Brabham BT21

This car competed in Class C for cars under 1600cc in the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship race at the HSCC Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's the 1967 Brabham BT21 of Chris Holland. The Brabham BT21 was based on the BT18 and was used in several classes of racing including Formula 2 and Formula 3 racing in Europe and Formula B in the USA. Chris Holland's is a Formula 2 car with a 1,599cc 4-cylinder Ford Kent engine.

1978 Chevron B43

This car took part in the Single Seater Challenge/Toyota Formula 3 Race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1995.

It's Chris Fearon's 1978 Chevron B43 and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,997cc Toyota engine. Sixteen of these cars were built, but the Chevron B43 proved to be a difficult car to set up for a race and didn't achieve much success, although Patrick Gaillard managed wins at Imola and the Nürburgring in that year's European Formula 3 Championship.

1975 Sauber C4

This car competed in the HSCC 2 litre Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's the 1975 Sauber C4 of Ian Giles, and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it had a 2,000cc engine. This is chassis 75-C04-001, the only C4 built, and it was raced in 1975 mainly by Harry Blumer, finishing in third position in the Swiss Sportscar Championship. The car has an aluminium monocoque chassis instead of the tubular frame of the earlier Sauber cars, and has a 1,795cc 4-cylinder inline Ford Cosworth BDG engine.
