The History of Lotus in Formula 1 to the Rhythm of Fast Lap E-BOOK

DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND INNOVATIVE TEAMS IN THE WORLD'S GREATEST MOTOR RACING COMPETITION?

Lotus is one of the most legendary constructors in Formula 1, and one of those that has revolutionized the competition throughout its history with innovations such as the use of ground effect, the one-piece chassis or the incorporation of active suspension.

The history of Lotus is that of a team that was born and grew in the late 50s to achieve glory through a legend like Jim Clark. It came to dominate Formula 1 in the 1970s with magnificent drivers such as Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt and Emerson Fittipaldi. By taking advantage of the ground effect of the Lotus 78, the competition surrendered to the ingenuity of a team that led Andretti to become champion.

After its best period, Lotus continued to fight to win championships again, counting on future legends such as Nigel Mansell or Ayrton Senna. However, the legendary team had to face a progressive decline, and a difficult comeback in search of past glory.
