Dan Gurney became one of only four drivers to ever win in F1 in a car built by his own team when he won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix in the ultimate magnesium-titanium Eagle.

It was immediately successful in the hands of Tom Pryce, and six customer cars were sold during 1972. A further RP11A was built for 1973.

Despite the Finn's eight pole positions, poor reliability and several accidents meant that he only won two races.

A second Mk 5 was completed later and both were used in sprints and hillclimbs.

Results in F3 were poor, but Pat Walter managed to finish third in the SCCA's Northern Pacific Division.

Designed by Max Boxstrom and built by Jim Gleave's MRE company, the MRE 74A was a Formula Atlantic variant of the Formula Ford 74F. Only one was built, and it did not prove competitive in Formula Atlantic in 1974. It was not seen again.

A later front-radiator 26F evolution was built for Formula Atlantic and a further 28F variant for Formula B. Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:43:49 +0000 https://www.oldracingcars.com/xml/update.php?id=909 https://www.oldracingcars.com/crossle/14f/ Built in 1968 and 1969, the Formula B Crosslé 14F was supplied with a Vegantune engine, but was otherwise very similar to the preceding Crosslé 12F. Only two were built, for Mal Donaldson and Jim Mederer, and both were retained by their original owners for at least 40 years.

In Roger Barr's hands, a Crosslé 12F won the SCCA Runoffs in 1968. Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:52:32 +0000 https://www.oldracingcars.com/xml/update.php?id=910 https://www.oldracingcars.com/royale/rp12/ Despite a lack of interest in the Formula B RP5 and RP8, Royale produced a new design for Formula Atlantic and FB in 1972, the Royale RP12. It achieved significant success in the hands of Tom Pryce before he left Royale in mid-1973. Thu, 06 Nov 2025 21:40:47 +0000 https://www.oldracingcars.com/xml/update.php?id=913 https://www.oldracingcars.com/wimhurst/72/ After Palliser's closure in early 1972, designer Len Wimhurst created this one-off monocoque Formula Atlantic car for Jack Paterson to drive. It proved uncompetitive in Formula Atlantic, and has not been seen since the middle of the 1973 season. Anyone know where it is?
