History repeated itself in 1996 when Graham's son Damon was fired by Williams the year he won the championship! At least Colin waited a year.

Fittipaldi tests the "wide shovel" nose in Italy...

For all the trivia buffs, the evaluation from Emerson was less than favorable at the low downforce circuit. The experiment increased frontal drag, sent the brake temps soaring, lasted for a half an hour, and was never seen again.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

I have double posted this link, and it can also be found in the events section.

All the surviving type 72's are to be in one place, hosted by Classic Team Lotus on October 15Th.

There's something primordial about the odor of 90 weight...

Long hair and bell bottoms seem to the right garb for tackling ratio changes...

On the top photo, what is the round thing bottom left of the bellhousing?

Otherwise it all looks very simple and understandable.

I bet it is a very different view 50 years later.

X2 that 😂

    79 NBR here!
Thanks for the pics Lou, but nbr 5 is epic.
I am just a novice though but I know what I like . My daughter is a tattoo artist and looking into a tattoo of 5 not a 2 . The_toracle on instagram is in my opinion a gem.

Reunion at Classic Team Lotus...some of the surviving 72's

The smoking lamp is lit, fire up a Gunston's. Gold Leaf or John Player.

Wonderful.

Harry's Garage on you tube has just posted a story about his new Lotus and the first few seconds has a JPS liveried 72 driving the Hethal track
