One of my favourite Formula, I've been boring Historics forum browsers for weeks ! Go the that forum, theres load of stuff on it. Very strong in UK from 72-75, dipped in '76, came back, not quite as good from 79-83. Great looking and quick cars, close racing mostly, well known drivers. How long have you got ! Dan |

I agree with Dan:cars looked and sounded fantastic. In fact I've still got an Audio tape somewhere with an Atlantic qualifying session recored from Oulton in 73: sad aren't I? but it's great for the withdrawl sysmptons during the closed season!!
Lots of the quick guys from Atlantic went on to bigger and better things: Tom Pryce, Tony Brise, Jim Crawford, Tony Trimmer to name but a few I'm sure Dan could name even more! |

No I think we're all referring to the original Atlantic, mainly using Ford BDA motors in the US/UK/Australasi and South Africa from about 1969-84. Not sure when the Toyotas came in. Between those years, it was a sort of 'junior F2', very nice looking and quick cars, made good noises as well |

As Scott Day asked 'what IS it' rather than 'what WAS it' maybe he was thinking of Toyota Atlantic,which is the only decendent that still exists-at least it stil did at the end of September.

Back to the 21st century. There'll be a new Atlantic Championship Series for pre-06 cars starting this year.
Any idea what happened to the Swift-Mazdas used between 2006–9? |
