Raffo MkV
Engine: Formula Ford 1600cc
Configuration: front engine, rear-wheel drive
Driver: Ian Clark
Class: Clubman 1600, Formula Ford engines
Date taken: April 1978, main straight, Croft
This car used the sit-up-and-beg driving position popular in Formula 1 at the time to produce a short wheelbase car which would have gained a weight saving. Notice how the two, small rear wing are situated just over the rear wheels and the downwards force is fed towards the centre of mass.
