silverfrost 1,387 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I hate to see mice and rats in project cars, Rats even more so, but other parts of the world have bigger problems !

PAR 267 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) First win by a Lotus car although not a factory win as it was engaged by a private team (Walker Racing). Moss reiterated the win the following year with the type 18 before team lotus had their first ever factory win in the US Grand Prix.

LotusLeftLotusRight 1,227 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Lovely Lotus 49 film. What a noise! Surprised that Rindt’s name wasn’t mentioned as (posthumous) world champion in one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 6,237 Posted February 6, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Really enjoyed that film with the Lotus, Brundle and Newey. Listening to Newey it really brings home the legacy and pedigree of Lotus in racing. Would be great to have them back as a factory team in something. I'd shed a tear at that... 1 Quote Alcohol. Sex.

silverfrost 1,387 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Fantastic Video Bibs, From the days when race cars looked amazing and the drivers had a much bigger pair of nuts between their legs , not knocking todays drivers to much, as they still do a great job, but looking at the 48 with the massive 3.0 v8 lump hanging just behind their heads and a scantly thin body wrapped around them took brave men to race them compaired with todays racers .

GTK 643 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 That was a lovely watch, when was that made? What he said about coming down three gears into Tarzan with a Cosworth Hewland, and he's talking about today's F1 drivers missing out... what about the rest of us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 11,118 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 This picture was taken at Lotus back in 2011 when the new track was opened.
