1970 Hawke DL2 news, pictures, and information

David Lazenby has been credited with being one of the primary producers of Formula Ford racing series. He was the manager of Lotus Components and the creator of the Hawke Formula Ford open-wheel race car,

The first racer created under the Hawke marque was the DL-1. In 1969, the racer became known as the DL-2 when it became a production car.

The Hawke Company went out of business due to financial difficulties. With financial backing from Mac McKinstry, the Hawke was able to re-open for business. The DL-12 series was created. It was a popular model that sold well. Later, due to the oil crisis, the company was once again in financial despair. With further funding from outside sources, Hawke was once again able to produce vehicles. However, Lazenby was not. In 1978, he left the company. A year later, Hawke was out of business.
