Benny Lyson Racing, a Danish driver who made a few chassis 'very similar' to the early LCR's. Clive Stirrat and Judd Drew both had these chassis if I recall correctly.

Rodders is right
I been passenger on a few of them back in the eighties.
They where heavier than an LCR and also a little steadier
I dont think that any where made after -89 but I can be wrong.

Last one I now riding one was Jesper Johansen (DK) in the dutch series.

And its Benny Lysén

Dont now the amount, guess max 10
there where some chassies made in Finland in the same era and they looked simular
so maybe that made me remember that they where more of them.

Did at least on complete season with Peter Warfinge on an BLR and can only remeber some
rivets for a enginebracket that came lose. so in my mind they where good back then
