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 insiders view of the innovations for which Chapman was personally responsible and those credited to him but derived from others.

Customer Review: Great Book!

If you are a Lotus fan or want to learn more about the history of the organization and its racing triumphs and failures, this is a great source of information. I recommend it highly!!

Customer Review: An Interesting Work

This book is a fantastic overview of the racing cars built by Lotus, from the original cars built by Chapman, up to the racing version of the Esprit in the mid 90's.

Beginning with the original hill-climb cars, each of the models has some description and list of it's racing history, which for some models includes almost a full racing history in the case of the of the marque's more famous formula one cars, such as the 25, 49, 78 and 79, as well as the company's sports racing cars. Small stories and anecdotes are commonplace, and interviews with some members of the Lotus team give insight into the ideas and people behind the cars.

If you're looking for an in-depth report on a single model, this might not be the book you're looking for (particularly if you're interested in the Seven), but as an overview for someone interested in the topic, this book is unique.
