The BPG was announced
in early 1968, primarily it was designed for F Ford use but it was also
advertised as suitable for both F3 and F Libre racing, it was built by
BPG Engineering in Leicester. The chassis was a tubular spaceframe with
a sheet steel undertray, front suspension was via unequal length wishbones
with a reversed lower wishbone, top link and twin radius rods found at
the rear. Armstrong adjustable dampers were used and there was anti-dive
built into the front suspension. In F Ford spec (designated as RA-2) the
wheelbase was 91.0 ins with a front track of 52 ins and a rear track of
54.0 ins.
There is no record
of any F3 cars being built although at least one car was fitted with a
twin-cam engine, bigger wheels and tyres and raced in F Libre with the
RA-3 designation.
