    Default Canadian F3

    What is not is a Canadian F3 car. They where based on 750cc motor cycle engines from the late 70s most where Honda based. If I remember correctly they where called cf4s.

    Default I'm not sure...

    but it would certainly appear to pass the "Broomstick Test."

    Looks like an amusement park-type go kart or some cheesy 'open wheel experience' thing to me. Not a real race car.

    If that's a F3 car, I am Buddy Hackett.

    Nice pinstriping, though. :-)

    That is one of the most bizarre "roll bar"/cage things I've ever seen, even for a toy go kart.

    No seatbelts and a face-destroyer-bar? It looks like the Simpsons episode with the "old tooth chipper"

    It's close to where I live, and I recall a track where you could rent these . It closed about 10 years ago. Similar to a go kart rental but bigger and a bit faster. I think they advertised it as Formula 440. But not connected with any sort of organised racing.

    Looks like a bad version of the old Malibu Grand Prix cars.

    Maybe he can get Jon Lewis to buy it for his next racing venture......

    Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.
