Policar CAR02e Lotus 72 n.29 Dave Charlton - Brands Hatch GP 1972

Driver(s) : Dave Charlton

The Lotus 72, designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe in 1969 and refined into 1970, is one of the most important and iconic models in F1 history. It was a great technical achievement and was developed and raced until 1976. Like all the cars made by Chapman it set new standards in innovation: inboard brakes, side mounted radiators, torsion bar suspension, motor air intake positioned high beside and then above the driver’s head, wedge shaped nose.
