Photo Gallery «Cromard Special - continuous evolution up to Formula 2»
Can you build a competitive Formula 2 racing car on technology that is over 20 years old? You can, but more modern construction principles are better in the end. With the Cromard Special, the builder went through all these evolutionary steps until finally, in 1950, a fast and attractive single-seater with a chance of winning was created. The one-off survived and was recently completely restored. This report describes the long history of the British F2 racing car and shows it in many pictures.
