The '''Protos''' was a wingless [[Formula 2]] racing car that appeared in 1967. Powered by the then-standard [[Ford Motor Company|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 Rodríguez (racing driver)|Pedro Rodríguez]].
