David Prophet - Lotus-Maserati 24
Hi i'm interested in Formula 1´s "Return of the Power" of 1966.
South Africa, ahead like in 1960, switched in mid-1965 to 3 litre.
My question is about Hong Kong born british driver David Prophet.
In the beginning of 1965 he drove his white "long-stroke Formula Junior" Brabham, being replaced at mid-season by a Lotus 24 with unknown chassis number and colour. Historic simracing shows the car as blue, but I´m not sure if I cannot trust them. I once saw a photo in pale orange. The engine was discribed as a to 2.8 outbored 1960 2.5 litre formula 1 Maserati, despite the then used 4-cyl., which fit into the Cooper chassis, was a devirate of the 2 litre T60 respectively 3 litre(2890 cc) T61 sports car unit.*Last edited by rodeos; 18th April 2020 at 00:22. Reason: much more distinctive title

Hi Rodeos, I cant help you directly.. but you should maybe try contacting his daughter Jane via the Autosport forum. A good while back (2006-7) she was trying to build a web page dedicated to her fathers racing career.

Good luck.

Disheartened Lando Norris rules out any chance of an F1 race win soon. Lando Norris has had limited chances to claim his maiden F1 win since 2019 and doesn't expect to see the top step on the podium...
