it shows what a good car the 49 was , first raced , what , half way thru 67 , last race monaco 1970 which it won ? but then again , look how long the 72 ran for .
AdminsAnonymous Says:
a little disappointing that he spent most of his time talking about the history of the car instead of the feel of it...

Sir Moss has a slick tire at head.
Electroelectro Says:
You're totally spot on: tune is Black Dog by Led Zeppelin, from their fourth album "IV" (1971).

Does anyone know the name of the song starting at 1:06 in the background? It brings out the tremendous nostalgia of this beautiful era. If it is simply a song composed for this video, that would certainly be disappointing.

@tinySHINEY1 Hey buddy, thanx a lot man, thats pretty much what I was wanting to know. Its hectick to think that they were doing speeds like that back then with little or NO driver safety, no driver aids as well as little or no aerodynamic aids!!! I will even go out on a limb and say that they were the TRUE drivers!!!! I would be such a happy chappy if I got the opportunity to driven one of these for a couple of laps!!! WOW
sfbassist1 Says:
Hey guys, do any of you have performance figures for this car or one from its era? Acceleration, top speed e.t.c I can't find anything on the internet, only the engine power figures
w00xer Says:
Don't know why, but this is the most beautiful car....
gcmc2 Says:
Martin's not quite right with his suggestion that Jim Clark liked the car better with the wings. Clark was gone before the wings were ever fitted. He won the South African GP in early 1968, then the Tasman series in Aus / NZ a few weeks before his death. He never ran the car with any aero setup at all.
gcmc2 Says:
Yes, it was. Both the Cosworth DFV and the lotus 49 debuted at Zandvoort on June 4, 1967. Lotus has exclusive use of the engine through 1967 and customers started getting engines in 1968.

was this car the first to get the Ford cosworth engine fitted?

Nice upload!
EJRocky Says:
Agreed. I adore this car, and I too can say it was one of my favourite cars as a child, despite being born well after this car's heyday. You know you've designed a special car when it still captivates young motorsports fans after 40 years...!
lotus49a Says:
Me too. I am extremely jealous. I absolutely loved this car when I was a little boy and now, more than 40 years later I still absolutely love it. Seeing it being drive literally sent shivers down my spine. I still think that, compared to the cars of its time, this is the greatest racing car of all time. Brundle, you're a spawny git.
FormulaVid Says:
WHAT DID CHAPMAN SAY? NOOOOOOO!
MrSockery Says:
Nothing symbolises Formula One more than Clark and the Lotus 49. Most iconic pairing in the sport's history.
Dyn0Don Says:
"what a shame these cars aren't street legal." The Elise and Exige are. Closest feeling to an open wheel car you'll get on the street. Oh.... and run 'R' compound. Cars are so light you'll get a year out of them (well 6 months anyway).
