The Formula Junior Historic in Road Racing & Sprint Racing Directory
International Formula has been more truly worldwide than Formula Junior, which celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2008 with a series of races across the Globe. The Golden Jubilee World Series is taking place in New Zealand [Pukekohe], Australia [Philip Island], Europe [Monza, Brands Hatch GP and Nurburgring], USA West Coast [Monterey], USA East Coast [Lime Rock], with the grand finale in South Africa [ Killarney].From 1958 to 1963 Formula Junior replaced the motorcycle engined 500 cc F3 cars as the steppingstone to Formula 1. It was the brainchild of Italian Count Johnny Lurani and provided for 1.0 or 1.1 litre production engines, and gearboxes in mini Grand Prix chassis. In its short 6 years, the design span covered the major progression of racing car evolution from ladder frame frontengined cars, through space frame cars with proprietary suspension like the Alexis HF1 [still raced today by FJHRA Coordinator Duncan Rabagliati], rear engined spaceframes such as the Coopers, to the full monocoque of the Lotus 27.
