This is a comprehensive survey of Lotus's racing
history, covering the extraordinary range of sports-racing and
single-seater cars designed by Colin Chapman and his disciples. Grand
Prix machinery predominates, with landmark machines such as the 25 (the
first monocoque), 49 (the start of the Cosworth-DFV period), 72
(wedge-shaped with side radiators) and 79 (the all-conquering
ground-effect design). Into the narrative are woven the memories of
Lotus Formula 1 drivers, and an insider's view of the innovations for
which Chapman was personally responsible and those credited to him but
derived from others
