Although it is over 40 years since Formula 3 replaced the class, Formula Junior racing continues to thrive worldwide, with hundreds of cars competing regularly.The Formula Junior Historic Racing Association promotes the category and an excellent grid is expected for a rare Formula Junior event in Scotland. Among those sure to support the Knockhill races is Scottish veteran John Fyda, racing the Lotus 22 that won the 1963 Formula Junior championship in Australia.Alongside the two Formula Junior races will be the hour-long, two-driver 'Tin Tops' race, several heats and a final for the Golden Helmet Formula Ford 1600 Trophy, races for classic single-seaters, classic sports and saloons and Morgans.Saturday will be taken up with qualifying and then several races before the track is turned over to rallying mid-afternoon for a super special stage. On Sunday, racing will run throughout the day, including demonstrations by classic motorcycles.
