  • VD Formula Mirage, VD chassis, number FG51. John Newman,  Older restoration, required quite a bit of work but looking schmick again. It’s a VD chassis, number FG51, with Mitsubishi 4 banger in it – was built for a one make series in Japan around 1990 – 1995, mine is 1991 I believe, and may have been the series winner in 1991 but while indications are there, proof is scarce – very few records. Basically they were Formula Ford 2000 with wings, inboard suspension etc but different engine.
  • VD (FG65) Formula Mirage,  Chris Gleeson (Japan) FG chassis/Mitsubishi 4G63 2000cc engine/Wings - Chassis number FG65 (Maybe 1990~91 model).

 

 



Thanks to Mauricio Toro for this interesting info:   "There is a series of chassis, they are RF79’s that were manufactured by a Joint Venture between Ralph Firman and the father of Colombian driver Roberto Guerrero in Colombia where they imported the jigs and tubing for chassis manufacture. They were RF79’s that were fitted from Factory with Renault Engines and Gearboxes from a Renault 18. 

Most of these were turned into prototypes and raced until the mid 2010’s when they were replaced by radicals.
 
I have just bought chassis #13 and am starting a thororugh restoration process with the help of the former plant manager for the manufacturing of the chassis. I hope this fits the criteria for being added to the registry."
