The way we raced

There were no go-karts in those days, and although there existed Formula Junior cars, these were already aimed at semi-professionals. In the 1960s, if you wanted to race, there was only one thing for it. You had to find a friendly mechanic willing to soup up the car you used to get to university, and then take it racing, without saying anything to your parents of course! This trend gave rise to the “Prepared Touring” racing class, open to production cars.
