Some cars leave a paper trail; the Škoda F3 left a name and a place in Škoda Auto's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
The story
The Škoda F3 is an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by Czech manufacturer Škoda, for both Formula 3 and Formula Junior categories, in 1964. The water-cooled, top-controlled, four-cylinder, four-stroke in-line engine was installed at the rear and had a displacement of 998 cc or 1221 cc and an output of 76 hp (56 kW).
