Only the race number. It can help solve puzzles if you can find an entry list!

Well it looks like a Gemini behind so I am guessing not European but possibly African?

Not African - it is European.

gte4289 wins the coconut! I can't add any more, although I believe that the car was constructed around an old Cooper 500cc F3 chassis. It complied with Formula Junior regulations.

BTW tobytwirl, the following car was indeed a Lola.
