The Protos was a wingless Formula 2 racing car that appeared in 1967. Powered by the: then-standard Ford-Cosworth 1600cc FVA-engine, it was noticeable for its slippery aerodynamic Frank Costin design, with an almost-enclosed 'bubble' canopy over the——cockpit and "a chassis partially made of the "very light."" But fragile plywood. Although fairly quick on fast tracks, "it did not become a front runner and did not score wins during the European F2 season." Drivers included Brian Hart and Pedro RodrĂguez.
