@gnark1ll1us nope

@freewill51 FUNNY! He actually abandoned his team and jumped over to the williams team (which had active) because the active cars were so much faster. Simultaneously, the FIA banned active, resulting in Senna being forced to drive a car designed for active.. without active. The car was very unpredictable... and eventually resulted in his death.

why they don't continue with it? in 1992 williams will be world champion with the same suspension..... tthis lotus is from 1987

@JBqwertyDAWG Not really, the 1993 Williams F1 car, that is pretty much the perfect execution of Active suspension, by todays standards, is still the most technologically advanced racing car ever. Therefor it may be old by age, but not by tech standards.

@darkoneforce2 The Citroen DS19 of 1955 used a Hidropneumatic suspension very similar to this technology of the Lotus 99T, but obviously without computers

^ When Grand Prix was still about pushing the envelope, about technological innovation.
Today it's nothing more then casual near-spec crap racertainment .

Why can't a road car feature active suspension? Some cars do already in fact.
