I am doing a bit of research into the history of the FVL championships of 1993, with particular referance to the Paul Stewart Racing team.
Any info would be good as I have very little at this time.
Any info on the cars used (maybe one for the chassis file) would be very useful.
Many thanks.

Good topic!
At the moment i'm struggling to remember who actually drove for PSR that year! I remember that Magnussen was usually the man to beat (in Europe) for David Lloyd's Foundation squad (Lloyd's now a Ferrari F1 Engineer I think?
Dario Franchitti may have been one of the drivers along with Johnny Mowlem?
It was the second year that the series ran the more 'aerodynamic' body shells and wings on the Reynard chassis' as well.

I got some 1993 Motoring News newspapers with some FVL results from
Round 6 at Brands Hatch (13th June 1993)
Round 6 (according to MN?) at Pembrey (27th June 1993)
Round 7 and 8 at Knockhill (25th July 1993)
Round 11 at Thruxton (29th August 1993?)
Round 12 at Donington (12th September 1993)
PSR's drivers: Dario Franchitti and Johnny Mowlem.
Don't know if you are interested but I got some small articles with results from the Formula Vauxhall Euroseries Rounds 8 and 9 at Spa, Round 10 at Silverstone and, Rounds 14 and 15 at Zandvoort?
Magnussen drove for David Lloyd's team and he eventually moved to David Sears Motorsport team during the season.
Many thanks to both chunterer and bigears.
The drivers appears correct as far as I can tell, and the spec is very useful.
Is it possible to get copies in some form of your articals bigears? - I am new to this forum business and unsure of protocall and how things work. I would like all the British stuff, and at least the Silverstone round of the Euro series.
If PSR competed at the euro series other rounds I would be interested in that too.
Does anyone know who coordinated the UK series or have a contactfor them?
Vauxhall-Lotus are still racing competitively in Mk1 and Mk2 form in the Monoposto Classic 2000 series. A great club racing car.
Sorry I am going on holiday to Prague tomorrow.
Also my computer is having problems with the scanner. So maybe I will type up the results in two weekends' time.
Many thanks. It can quite happily wait.

I think Jenny Birrell &/or Adriane Watson were the series co-coordinators at that time. Jenny is no longer in motorsport.
I still haven't forgotten, I will do it this Friday (hopefully)
Many thanks.
It is reasuring to see other people have as little time as I.
All help appreciated.

FInally got around to it. Some of them are a bit small so you got to look closely to read the text. Hope it helps you.
Thanks Bigears,
The clippings are good and I think I will be able to read most of them.
