If I were the president/boss/ruler/overlord/
big cheese of F1, or whatever, I'd ban aero aids and traction control and build them just like in the 60's. Takes a real man to drive one of these - let's see how Hamilton would do in a 49... =) -
The Lotus 49 in it's day was perhaps the finest open wheeled race car ever made! Reliability, Ford Cosworth Power, and sharp handling made it a monster to beat; especially in the hands of Jim Clark and Graham Hill. I'd love to drive one too!

@Suprahampton is it? Zandvoort never had a double tribune I think...
asked my dad: No, it never had

@wtccenf1forever2 I think it's the 49's debut race... Zandvoort

What song is it please

which circuit is it at 1:25?

Lots of men died in these cars, they were dangerous. I agree though, lots of todays drivers probably wouldn't have the courage to drive it at racing speeds.

Fabulous looking car and very effective even into its fourth season too. The later colour change for sponsorship purposes did not help it however. It looked great in Rob Walker's Scottish colours of dark blue with a white band around the nose.

they are banning aero packages and traction control. thats why they made the rear wings on the back super small and thats why the fia supply random ecu to the teams like restrictive plates in nascar

Dost dobrý!49 je nejkrásnější,ale 79 ji určitě trumfne.
O.K. you caught me... And you were right about reliability. However they did pile up an impressive record. I have a fondness for both it and the Ferrari 312 of the same vintage.

Oh yes, Ferrari 312 is very beautiful car, but not so successful, regrettably.
