Laser Formula Ford cars?

Hello everyone, i'm afraid its newbie with lots of questions time!

Does anyone know anything about the late 1980s FFord constructor Laser? My dad and i aquired a 1987 model a couple of years ago and have now started to get it out to play again (i missed the festival and WHT with a broken ankle, boo )

Anyway, all we have managed to find out is that they were produced from 1985 to 1987, that the late Peter Rogers finished 3rd in the '86 festival in one, and then possibly died driving an HD87 a year later (at donington?). We also know that the HD is Howard Drake, who was the designer, but that's it. Does anyone know anything more?!

Here are a couple of photos of it last summer when we were fitting some new bodywork that came with it. We also have the black set which is stickered up from its last use us a trackday car in Belgium.

Pretty, isn't it? Huge thanks in advance for any memories/history/comments/setup advice!
