  • In the 1970s Colin Chapman, Maurice Philippe and Tony Rudd created a car that would change the face of Formula 1 racing forever. It competed in a total of six different seasons from 1970 to 1975, winning 20 races along the way, making it one of the most successful F1 cars of all time. This car was of course the Lotus 72 and here is its story.
    Following the development and success of the Lotus 25 and 49, Chapman and Philippe needed to create a car that could take advantage of the aerodynamic developments that were rapidly occurring in motorsport. The 72 would be born out of their work. With its low monocoque chassis, massive rear wings and aggressive appearance, the 72 was like nothing the F1 world had seen before.
    The Lotus 72 first turned a wheel in anger at the Spanish Grand Prix in April 1970, with Jochen Rindt and a young John Miles at the wheel. While things didn’t exactly go according to plan at the car’s first event, the incredible Lotus soon proved it worth. With brilliant drivers such as Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson at the wheel, the 72 would go on to claim 3 Constructors’ titles and two drivers’ championships during its service.
    Without a doubt the Lotus 72 is one of the most iconic race cars ever built. It would bring about a new era of Formula 1 development and would solidify Lotus as one of the great teams.

    The point of inboard brakes is not to move the weight toward the center, which only gives a slight improvement in the rotational moment of inertia, but to reduce unsprung weight, so the wheels follow the road with more consistent traction.

I recall a Texaco TV commercial with Emerson onboard the 72 describing the car... very cool, I bought Emerson Fittipaldi autograph sunglasses after that and skied in them in '73 (didn't grow the sideburns though). 😆 Great technical story w. sims, specs, Amazing video. Kudos!

    The Lotus 72 had a major influence on Indy car racing as well, by way of Mclaren copying the design in 1971. By 1972 most Indy cars had wings, wedge nose and side radiators.

    Lovely, 1 months ago i got lucky and was able to see a lotus 49, 76, 77, 88 and 95T in real life. Seeing some of the cars completely disassembled and being able to see them up close makes you appreciate the engineering beauty that went in to these cars. The 3d model you made for the 49 is lovely. Having seen the car in real life i can say its really accurate.

    10:35 in 1973 Peterson was by no means a "rising star"; he had been in F1 since much earlier than Fittipaldi, and was 2 years older. It was well known how great a driver ha was, but until 73 he never had a proper car. And in 1973, the biggest problem Lotus had was the fact Firestone and its low profile tyres left F1, and the Lotus had been developed around those tyres, since the Good Years behaved completely different.

    Saw Rindt in the 72 at the 1970 Oulton Park Gold Cup. Awesome looking car and quite unlike anything else at the time. That was the last race my dad took me to. My strongest memory of that meeting was the T70 Lolas which used to knock all the air out of your lungs as they went past due to the bass frequency of the big V8s and a demo run by Jackie Oliver in the H16 engined BRM.

    Quote from Bernie Ecclestone,
    ‘At the end of ’68 we had the choice for Jochen of the Goodyear deal with Brabham, or the Firestone deal with Lotus,’ Ecclestone told David Tremayne. ‘I said to him, “If you want to win the World Championship, you’ve got more chance with Lotus than with Brabham. If you want to stay alive, you’ve got more chance with Brabham than with Lotus.”’
    Rindt won the 1970 title, driving a Lotus. But he was dead before the end of the season - making him F1’s only posthumous champion.

    Colin Chapman the greatest race designer in history. What people don't realize about the Lotus 72 it was the piston engine version of the Lotus 56 Turbine car. The concept actually started during March 1967 Indy 500 tire tests.Colin wondered how low the Lotus 38 rides at racing speed, so he put a device on Jimmy Clark's Lotus 38 and was astonished to find out the car lifted so it was at its lowest ride standing still. After the 1967 Indy 500, Andy Granetelli asked Colin if he could design a Turbine car for 1968 race and he said yes. The wedge shape concept he got from GM engineer. The Pratt & Whitney engine weighted only 260lbs and did not need radiators so he was able reduce drag without a opening in the nose. The 72 debuted at the 1970 Spanish GP and Bruce McLaren saw the car and said thats going to be our 1971 Indy Car(M16). The McLaren M16 broke the Indy qualifying record by nearly 9mph. The next year the qualifying record was broken by nearly 15mph by a Gurney Eagle which was based on the 72 concept.

  • @chicobicalho5621

    The Lotus 72 arrived early and left late. Indeed there is no other racing car like it. I imagine, if Chapman hadn't been so "bold" in 1971 with the turbine idea, and instead had developed the 72 progressively, and if Rindt hadn't died, I suspect they could have won many more championships. And if Firestone hadn't left in 1973, thre would have been a better chance for Lotus as well.

    • @jspoons6619
      @jspoons6619 Рік тому +1

      A lot of if's but very correct in many respects Lotus had a lot of bad events in an age were drivers lost their lives on an almost race by race basis. Both Clark and Rindt would have won more Championships for sure. Chapman was also having to fight his rival teams who feared Lotus's new cars this was a feature through out Chapmans life of racing innovation's if his rivals could not figure out how to beat him they simple did there best to change the rules or get his cars banned both in F1 and Sport car racing he faced these issues.
      Lotus was the trail blazer through the mid 60's until Chapmans Death were Lotus never really recovered .
      I Remember getting the JPS Lotus Dinky F1 car for Christmas in the 70's though I later lost it I did re-buy a Mini-champs scale model in 2000 along with a 49 and later found a old 70's die cast Toy JPS that I added to my old Toy and model car collection. for me there is only one Lotus car better and the is the 78/79 series of F1 cars from Lotus
      again with JPS very much the pinnacle for Lotus.
      I am sure there would have been more to come if Chapman had not passed away , though also he was very tired of the constant battles to stop having his car banned by rival teams and the FIA.
      My feels are that he may have moved towards Rallying with his ties with Ford or Talbot he had help both teams out with Rally and track cars before the Lotus Powered Cortina and the Mk 1 RS Escort 1.6 twin cam used a lotus Engine and the Talbot Lotus won the WRC championship. Group B would have been a god send to Lotus under Chapman with no rule book to hamper him he and his designers would have come up with something crazy for sure.
      F1 owes so much to Lotus properly more than they do to Ferrari yes there are a whole host of other British teams form Cooper Tyrell through to Mclean who have created ground breaking F1 machines But I would say Lotus under Chapman created the layout that still is used to this day in one shape or form.
      thanks for a very good video.

    Its later results would have been fsr better if Firestone had not stopped making f1 tyres or Goodyear had made tyres for lotus.
    The 72 was specifically designed with soft tyres in mind but the Goodyears were designed to what the other teams wanted.
    The rearward weight distribution didn't suit the Goodyear tyres and neither did the inboard brakes, the 72 struggled to keep the front tyres hot enough as a result, which had not been an issue with the Firestones.
    With the firestone tyres it would probably have another win or 2 in its tally despite its age.
    Emmo described the 72 car as the best car he ever drove in his entire career. Having only driven it with the firestones.
    Some drivers loved it, some hated it, and some contradict themselves having been been both highly complimentary and critical of the 72.

      Lotus mechanics said that while the car kept winning races, it was an "absolute sod" to work on! Still, a fantastic career for a car. How many cars were pulled out of retirement to win MORE races? I can only think of one after the 72: the Ferrari F2002. It wasn't ready when the season started so the drivers had to use the F2001 in the first two races.

    What about the previous lotus which led to the discovery of anti-roll properties in its push-rod suspension? Wasn't that more of a change than simply being around a few seasons?

    Correction: the Cosworth DFV was not presented at the end 1965 (even the papers you show that the contract was only signed in 1966...).
