Hawke Racing Cars was set up in 1969 by ex Lotus Components manager
David Lazenby to produce cars for Formula Ford and later FF2000, an
early success was the ’69 Scottish Formula Ford Championship for one Tom
Walkinshaw. Throughout most of the 70s Hawke produced a number
successful cars especially the DL15 that helped establish Derek
Warwick’s reputation. In 1974 Mike Keegan, father of Rupert Keegan and
owner of British Air Ferries, took a controlling interest in the company
and grandiose plans that included an Adrian Reynard designed F1 and F3
cars were announced. Although the F1 car did not appear the F3 car did,
however following problems with the F3 car and with the F Ford cars
becoming less successful Hawke disappeared from the scene at the end of
the 70s. ( Quelle: www.f3history.co.uk/manufacturers/hawke)
