Duncan was initially entranced by record keeping and statistics in racing events. This interest morphed into a desire to race and so he has for 22 years. However, with a keen eye for the history of the sport, his desire to race eventually juxtaposed into a desire to keep alive a class of racecars that served as a stepping stone into the higher formulae. So it was that he became the genial godfather of Formula Junior, advancing the cause especially for the diamond anniversary of the class. Advancing the cause led to Duncan’s spearheading events for Formula Juniors all over the world, from Europe to Australia and New Zealand to the USA and Canada. It was at the June 2017 VARAC meet at Mosport and later at the Glen vintage weekend where John Wright sat down with Duncan in a variety of noisy tents, filled with buzzing Formula Junior engines to chronicle the international journey he has been on.
