  • Funny how this vid is using all clips from Speed channel's Victory by design-Lotus film! But what better way to showcase the cars

  • I enjoyed the video but noticed two errors which I have commented on above.

    I think that a limit of only 500 characters to comment on an historicl video is far too short. I had to abbreviate my comment to the point where it must have sounded almost rude.

  • There are 2 mistakes.

    Des Hammill's book "Coventry Climax Racing Engines" page 141 gives the reason for the engine failure which lost Jim Clark the 1962 World Championship. It was NOT an oil leak, but the failure of the drive shaft to the twin scavenge oil pumps.

    Lotus was NOT the first rear engined car to race at Indianapolis. Cooper was there in 1961 with a 2.7 litre Climax FPF in the rear and finished 9th after problems with tyre wear & a cross threaded wheel nut.
