Foglietti F Junior driven by Dino Montevago at Monaco in 1959. |

| Yet another Italian
F3 constructor whose roots were in Formula Junior. They built a FJ car in
1958 and continued to use it in 1959 although in comparison with cars like
the Cooper it was already outdated on its announcement. A F3 car was produced
in 1964 and the Foglietti name continued to appear on Italian F3 grids up
until 1971 but many these may well have been updates of an earlier chassis
rather than a new car. |

In
1964 a neat if conventional F3 Ford powered chassis was built (although
it did appear to have a push-rod on the front suspension) that was
driven by Antonio Ascari Jr. (son of Alberto). A number of top six
places were obtained during the year. |
|
| |
 |
| The Foglietti continued
into 1965 althought whether with a new design wasn't clear. Ernesto Brambilla
showed flashes of competitiveness especially at Monza but the car often
failed to finish. |
| |
 |
| A new car was produced
in 1969, it used a spaceframe chassis with a conventional suspension design
except for very wide-based lower wishbones at the front. Seemingly the design
took a leaf from the Tecno book with a stubby appearance and a forward seating
position for the driver. It was powered by a downdraught engine that was
tuned by Foglietti themselves. Early season testing was carried out at Monza
with Enzo Corti and Scarambone driving. |
