Welcome to the new Monoposto website.
This has been developed to bring the Mono website bang up to date with plans to introduce new features in the future, including on-line race entries, a classified adverts service (cars, parts & services) and a re-fresh of the forum, as not everyone likes social media.

The Monoposto Racing Club recently has made a donation to the the British Motorsports Marshals’ Club (BMMC) of £1500 in recognition of its 60thAnniversary to support funding for marshals training equipment.
BMMC Midlands Regional Chair Jayne Poston who received the cheque on behalf of the club said: “It was an honour to be asked to receive this very generous and thoughtful donation from the Monoposto Racing Club on behalf of the BMMC.
“Training is a vital element of our preparation to ensure the 2,400+ volunteer BMMC marshals that work tirelessly all year round are ready to execute their duties to the best of their ability and skills.”
David Cox, President of the Monoposto Racing Club, said “Our Club has always admired, respected and valued the tremendous contribution that the volunteer marshals make to British motor sport and wanted to honour and support that during our 60th Anniversary Year in 2018.
“To that end we launched a fundraising campaign, to provide financial assistance for the training function within the British Motorsport Marshals Club and were delighted that our members’ generosity enabled us to donate this cheque for £1500. The presentation was made on a day when we had 60 cars entered on two grids, for the first round of our Championship at Donington Park.”
The Monoposto Racing Club is celebrating its 60th Anniversary during the 2018 season and as part of our celebrations we have pledged to support the circuit Marshals, that unsung group of supporters without whom motorsport could not function.
We are working with the British Motorsport Marshals Club (BMMC) to provide specific equipment that will be used for fire training. We will therefore be donating to a specific project rather than to a general fund.
Please donate to support the BMMC and enable them to buy new ‘gas rigs’. These are used in fire marshal training, an essential measure for the safety of us all. Remember, without marshals there will be no motorsport for us all to enjoy. Training is an essential contribution to the safety of motorsport for all.
MONOPOSTO FORMULA
“Motor Racing in the Grand Prix style for the club enthusiast”
1958 – 1976
by John Fox, Richard Page & Duncan Rabagliati
The Formula One Register has documented the history of the British Monoposto formula from 1958 to 1976.
Originally conceived to encourage the construction, by enthusiasts of limited means, of single-seater racing cars, it struggled to establish a place against competition from Formula Junior until, in the mid-60s it adapted to include a mix of “home-built” and older production chassis. Of course, as the years progressed Formula Junior chassis became eligible, and later still Formula 3 cars. On the engine front, for many years there were two classes – 1000cc and 1500cc until the former was scrapped for 1974. The ready availability of cheap cars and cost control of engines saw the formula blossom from the mid-60s onwards, with large grids and good racing, with many successful “one-offs” such as Jim Yardley’s Beagle, Alan Baillie’s Viking and the Anco of Brian Toft.
The format of this book is the same as previous Formula One Register publications. Each race covered has an entry list, chassis numbers, grid positions, full results with race times and competitors’ fastest laps and a race report. However, in a departure from our normal style, a section has been added to describe – and illustrate with photographs – over 50 of the most important or interesting one-off cars, many of which were more than capable of giving the professionally produced marques a good run for their money.
Published as a Limited Edition of 60 copies, the book runs to over 400 pages, hard bound, numbered and signed. It retails at £70 + £4.50 post & packing in the UK. Rest of Europe £16.60. Delivery at certain race meetings may be possible.
