Introduction

My name is ALAN MITCHELL

it has been several years now since I was involved in motor racing

I have very fond memories of "the good times", so I decided to create this site to live some memories.

I first got involved as the chief mechanic back in 1975 at Silverstone with the “JIMRUSSELLRACINGDRIVERSSCHOOL”

We had a fleet of 14 Formula Ford Merlin Racing cars until they were changed to the super new Van Diemen RF77.

I was also chief Mechanic for the Royal Formula Ford Sponsored by Cromptom Lighting with “JIM WALSH” as driver. We - WON - the “ESSO FORMULA FORD CHAMPIONSHIP” - TWICE.

The racing school changed to the “SILVERSTONE RACING DRIVERS2 SCHOOL and continued to run 14 Formula Ford Cars and also a Scholarship. The prize was a full sessions racing at competition level in the “Esso championship”.

“BRP”-British Racing Prospects was formed at Silverstone, and was a full team of competitive

Formula Ford Racing Cars.

I bought the assets of the British Racing Prospects team and started my own team

“AMITY RACING”
