As is well-known, the category was proposed by Count Giovanni (Johnny) Lurani, who, with his many connections, was able to persuade the FIA to adopt it. The Count also persuaded the small Italian racecar manufacturers to support the new formula, and soon there were a good number of front-engine Juniors, mostly modeled on the great iconic Italian F1 car, the 250F Maserati. The rules were really very sensible, requiring that the engine block and cylinder head had to come from a production car, as well as the gearbox casing\u2014and even the brakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
