@willianzzin I'm pretty sure this was back when they used V12s, but don't quote me on that. Actually looking closely you're right, it's a V8. Hmmmm...
bring back Lotus and John Player Special to formula-1! I never smoked in my life but the cigarette sponsorship made for some awesome looking cars in the 80s and 90s.
The turbo era was one of the best times in F1, maybe the V16's was a close second but I really liked the V10 and V12 variance after that. I bet when F1 downsizes their V8's to V6's they won't be turbo, and eventually they'll go to I4's which I HOPE they allow turbo on those.
@Rabelius Actually, if it's imported from another country to the US, 25 year or older, and it has 4 wheels, and a motor, it doesn't need to meet any regulations, so maybe.
THESE were real racecars!! not the ones we have now. and FIA will even put up some new rules. V4 engine with turbo. V4??? hello? i want there cars back on the racetrack!
The naturally aspirated 3 liter formula was the most stabe and beautiful F1 motorsports history until the sanctioning body started messing about with it. From the late '60's to the late '70's some of the most beautiful cars of the modern era, and the Lotus 78 was amount the most perfect. Wonderful memories of that era.
You're probably thinking of the Lotus 79. It was the perfect car for the 1978 season. The Lotus 78 was designed in 1976 but not raced untl the 1977 season.
Yep. Although the Lotus 78 did have some ground effect it didn't have sliding skirts and the ground effect worked too well at the front of the car, thus they were forced to counter that with a huge rear wing, which slowed the car on the straight, which meant they tried a more powerful but less reliable Cosworth V8, which meant Andretti lost the 1977 title. Phew. :)
Anyway they got it right with the Lotus 79 and all the other teams had to play catch up. Williams got it best.
El nuevo Lotus, tendrá motor Cosworth, ¿Pondrá algo Lotus?, lo dudo, Lotus es de GMC, y GMC está en quiebra, esta escudería, solo usará su nombre... espero que no sea así, y los ingenieros de Lotus, tangan algo que decir.
