Formula Junior had replaced the 500cc F3 almost everywhere, but some amateur races in UK and Denmark.

But there still remained a domestic series in Morocco until 1967, for 500cc DOHC & 750cc push-rod engines.
There also was an Italian formula called "Baby junior" in 1963-1965.

For this latter one, I only know 4 race winners, all at Monza :
- 23 September 1963, Herbert Demetz
- 28 June 1964, Erwin Gassler
- 30 May 1965, Sergio Ciceri
- 27 June 1965, Sergio Ciceri

For the former formula, I know even less information ! Jean Kerguen (a regular of Le Mans 24) won a race at el-Jadida in 1961 and Robert Lassus at Marrakech in 1966 before becoming Morrocan champion in 1967.

Does somebody know more ?

See what happens when you wait around, Graham?

Jimmy hasn't logged on to TNF since December 2009, I have a notion that I read somewhere that he's no longer with us, but I wouldn't swear to that.
