Blue Car & Yellow Mclaren M10
Andy,
Sorry for the delay...been away on the continent, Classic racing on 2 wheels,its a lot cheaper than 4 & far less hassle!
Firstly the Blue Car is a " Bitza " early70s F3 car out of Paul Gardners outfit. The letters on the front are L.D.M.C. (Longton & District Motor Club)Probobly sold by him to someone in the Preston Area.
I suspect it also competed in their annual Sprint Championship.
The Yellow Mclaren is definately Don Robinsons,i know he only did the odd race with it,but he competed in many sprints at Longridge since it first opened in the early 70s always in open wheelers.
One more driver who first started at Longridge was Kim & i,m sure he also had a brother,who first appeared there in identical Lotus "Wedge" Formula Fords in L.A.C. or L.D.M.C. run sprints again in the early 70s.
