I was too young to have been aware of Jim Clark's achievements in #F1 & other categories before his untimely death, but from all I've heard and read, he fully deserves his status as a legend of the sport. And of course, he was a two time world champion for #TeamLotus. 🏁🏆
Hadn't realised that when the Fittipaldi team folded, Peter War offered Newey a role as aerodynamicist at #TeamLotus for 1982 but instead Adrian accepted an alternative offer from March. Imagine what could have been if he'd helped design the mid 80's Ayrton Senna cars alongside Gérard Ducarouge? #F1

Final Lotus 77 configuration
The 1976 Lotus 77, a car that went from struggling to qualify to leading the Swedish GP & eventually winning the Japanese GP. A lot of development went into the car throughout the season, including complete redesign of the front suspension & several aero configurations. #F1 #TeamLotus
This is very sad news for all #TeamLotus enthusiasts. Peter Wright was instrumental in developing the brilliant Lotus 78 and 79 ground effect cars that brought world championship success back to the famous team. #RIP
If there was a #slotcar version of this car, it would be a fantastic addition to my #TeamLotus collection. Johnny Herbert's Lotus 109, Monza 1994. Come on #Scalextric, make it happen! 😀
This summed up Andretti's 1977 season. Probably had the best car, but engine reliability & a few mistakes wiped out his championship challenge. Fortunately, his luck changed and it all came good in 1978. #TeamLotus

Andretti & Peterson cruising to another 1-2 win for Team Lotus in the 1978 Dutch GP
As I celebrated another dominant 1-2 win for #TeamLotus on this day in 1978, I wonder what odds I'd have got on Lotus not winning another Grand Prix for 4 years? It would have been unthinkable at the time, but sadly it became true. As a teenage fan though, that 1978 glory year was unforgettable. 🏁🏆

#Scalextric modelled the very same 1962 British GP winning Lotus 25...with the one yellow wheel! 😀 #TeamLotus #slotcars

Bring back V10's podcast. S8 E8: The end of Lotus, with Johnny Herbert
For an in depth look back at that final #TeamLotus season, including the infamous Italian GP, this podcast is recommended. Bonus: Johnny Herbert himself is a guest! #F1 🏁
In his autobiography, Johnny wrote"...I honestly believe I would have gone on to win that race had I been spared. The car really did feel that good. It might have made a difference to the team too. As it was, the following day, Mon 12 Sep 1994, Lotus applied for administration..." 😣 #TeamLotus
Start of Italian GP 1994
As a #TeamLotus fan, this was the moment I'd been waiting for since the Senna era; the sight of a Lotus back near the front. After qualifying an amazing 4th in the 1994 Italian GP, Johnny Herbert momentarily took 3rd place into the 1st chicane, only to be punted out by Eddie Irvine! Heartbreaking!

Wow! The GOAT.
60 years ago Jim Clark won the British GP here at Silverstone in 33/R11. 🏁 Great to see the car back here for the first time since 1965! 🏆 #jimclark #teamlotus #lotuscars #silverstonecircuit #britishgrandprix
