The CLASSIC COLLECTION is a selection of the innovative F1 designs inspired by Colin Champman that more often than not revolutionised F1 design straight out the box.

Clark, Lotus 25, 1963 Clark, Lotus 25, 1963

1962, Type 25, 7 chassis, 25 GP - Revolutionary twin boom chassis concept that led on to the full monocoque type 38. Increased chassis stiffness gave handling gains. The booms provided the perfect home for aero spec fuel cells.
Clark, Lotus 33, 1965 Clark, Lotus 33, 1965

1964, Type 33, 7 chassis, 22 GP - Evolutionary development of the type 25. No matter how successful the existing car Colin Chapman always looked forward. The type 33 was extraordinarily compact for when minimising frontal area was vital.
Hill, Gold Leaf Lotus 49, 1967 Hill, Gold Leaf Lotus 49, 1967

1967, Type 49, 9 chassis, 34 GP - Colin Chapman recognised the potential of a bespoke engine designed in harmony with the chassis. He convinced Ford to 'badge' the Cosworth DFV. This fully stressed engine raced in F1 from 1967 to 1985.
Fittipaldi, John Player Special Lotus 72D, 1972 Fittipaldi, John Player Special Lotus 72D, 1972

1970, Type 72, 7 chassis, 75 GP - Side radiators enabled wedge shape to minimise drag and optimise down force. Torsion bar suspension and inboard brakes minimised unsprung weight for best tyre performance. Six seasons, three World Championships.
Andretti, John Player Special Lotus 78, 1977 Andretti, John Player Special Lotus 78, 1977

1977, Type 78, 4 chassis, 22 GP - The 'ground effect' type 78 harnessed the huge potential of undercar aerodynamics with venturi profiled sidepods and sealing skirts. Colin Chapman referred to it as the 'Something for nothing car'.
Reutemann, Essex Lotus 79, 1979 Reutemann, Essex Lotus 79, 1979

1978, Type 79, 5 chassis, 26 GP - 'Black Beauty' took ground effect to the next level and Team Lotus was dominant. Mario Andretti was moved to comment "The 79? Well, I'll tell ya, it's just beautiful. It feels like it's painted to the road". BRG for 1979.
