| 1991,
Peter Kox leads the field at Zolder in his Eufra 390. |
|
| |
It would seem that
Eufra first built F3 cars in the late 1970's and then stopped until
the 1990s when production began again. Eufra as a racing team have entered
cars in various classes in German National racing for several years
including in 1988 entering a Formula Konig car for a young Michael Schumacher.
Their 1990s cars were quite successful including winning a couple of
races for Peter Kox in 1991 who finished seventh in the German Championship,
the advent and subsequent domination of the Dallara seems to have put
an end to their ambitions.

| The only
appearance for the H18 in 1978 was at the Nurburgring where Niedzwiedz was
unable to qualify the BMW powered device being some 50 seconds off the pace. |

The
less than svelte lines of the 1979 H18.
|
|
The
now Toyota-powered H18 had a few reasonable runs in Baumann's hands
including a sixth at Hockenheim. |
|
| |
| |
 |
| The H18
only appeared for one race in 1980, an early season non-championship round
at Hockenheim where Baumann took ninth. |
| |
 |
| A new car,
the 390, suddenly appeared after a ten year absence, the design was basically
the 1989 Tark-Aleko (q.v.) and judging by the number of drivers
quite a few of the carbon-composite chassis were built. Kelleners in the
VW powered works car was a front runner all season frequently qualifying
in the top six and finishing third twice, at Wunstorf and Zeltweg. |

| Peter
Kox during 1991 in the Eufra 390. |
|
Initially
Eufra ran an updated 390 penned by Bernd Rörg and once again
it was competitive with Peter Kox scoring several good results with
the works Mugen engined car including wins at Avus and Most and a
second at Wunstorf. By the mid-point of the season the new Bernd Rörg
design, the 391, was introduced which employed F1 aerodynamics, sadly
F1 aerodynamics were not the answer in F3 and together with a lack
of testing resulted in no more points being scored during the year. |
|
| |
 |
| The 391
continued into 1992 run by privateers but was no longer competitive with
only one top six finish at the Norisring in the Championship rounds. |
| |
 |
 |
| |
| The
Mugen-engined 393. |
|
Eufra
was now owned by an Austrian, Manfred Jurasz, the Bernd Rohrig designed
393 was the new car but in the early races with Peter Kox it was unreliable
and then after Kox had gone it wasn't very quick. Midway through the
year it was withdrawn and other than some private entries that was
the end of Eufra in F3. |
