Title: Lotus F1 Livery History
Post by: literarymadness on Thursday,June 18, 2020, 04:11:13 PM
I had no idea how many Livery changes Lotus had made over the years. I guess you tend to only remember the iconic ones during the years Lotus won Championships and not the rest.  Very informative documentary on the subject. Great insight!!

A few surprises there and very interesting. I think the Essex livery was my least favorite. It seemed to look like all the other F1 cars to me for some reason. The JPS livery on the 79 was my favorite!

Informative yes, but some mistakes in the video...

The author mentions "Champion" brake pads .... spark plugs please!

No mention of the 56 turbine?  Gold over Black.

#1  49 in green/yellow no sponsors
#2  72 JPS / Texaco first version
#3  79 JPS / JPS branding only
