It obviously isn't a Formula 1 car, so is the race class a domestic French one?

Techno related ?

If you mean 'Tecno' (Pederzani brothers, Italy): No

I have read in a source that for Formula Junior cars a roll bar was mandatory from the beginning. But I don't see any in the picture.

fromwien · « **Reply #20 on:** December 08, 2021, 02:48:10 PM »

I think you are right, but there was no regulation about the height of the roll-bar. So most of them were far too low, so in modern 'Historic Formula Junior-events' you find on all of the cars welded height-extensions on the original roll-bars

Formula Junior was limited to 1100cc. Is it powered by a linered down engine?

Is it powered by a linered down engine? No

richard fridd · « **Reply #23 on:** December 09, 2021, 08:39:11 AM »
