Does anybody recall Chris and Mike Oates. They were brothers, apparently lived in the Manchester area. in 1971 and 1972 they raced sports cars (a Martin BM9C).
In 1972 (and I am lead to believe in 1973) Chris raced in Formula Atlantic.
They also owned a Chevron B19 during 1973 which they purchased from Central Garages (Mirfield).
Any information on them, their cars and their wherebouts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gerrie
Don't know about Mike, but Chris was racing a Lotus 69 in Formula Atlantic in 1971. I have a feeling he was from Derby rather than Manchester, but not 100% sure of that.
www.oldracingcars.com may wel tell you some more, but I haven't checked it yet!

Mike Oates is a well known club rally driver in Manchester. He often buys the latest WRC spec car to compete in single venue rallies and tarmac rallies.

Just do a search on google and you will find lots of Mikes rally entries and results.
