group 6: 1958-1963 formula cars
this was the main reason i wanted to go, the formula race cars that made history in the late 50s and early 60s. turned out most of these cars were formula jr, there were only 2 registered formula one racers and i didn't catch either. these are incredibly simple cars, the human body basically attached to wheels and an engine. amazing stuff.

we start with the 1963 brabham bt6 (1100cc, mark leonard)
