Formula 2 (1967-1984)
Formula 2 had existed before 1967, firstly immediately after the war for 2000cc cars, again at the end of the 1950s for 1500cc cars and revived again in 1964 for 1000cc cars. In 1967, the capacity was increased to 1600cc and a European Championship was organised. So our story starts here.
