The thing is, I actually always thought the Lotus 107 looked quite good! (Ok, so I might be alone there), but that's just my opinion! Certainly, the sight of Herbert scrapping with Schumacher in the 1993 Brazillian GP in that car was a sight to behold!
I think the problem with the 107 was that is was very different from the rest. Not sure if the shorter airbox was an advantage with aero? Think it was a shame we never really saw the 109's full potential.
Small detail but that is the 107b, the 107 from a year earlier had a slightly less offensive paint scheme, although by no means does not deserve a place in this thread.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Mercedes W03, it has a steppy nose - sort of - it's silver (ish). Low to no downforce, c'mon Nico and Schuey - Monza and Spa will be a breeze in this! What a beauty......
God, I hope not - didn't the Lancia D50 have fuel tanks hung on the side as well? I assume no-one took account of the (high) probability of being T-boned?
I reckon those are the fuel tanks. Look in this shot, there's no space for a fuel tank between the driver and the engine and there are holes in the tops which look like fuel fillers.
Wasn't it 4WD too? To think, Cosworth hoped to persuade Jimmy Clark away from Lotus with this hideous thing...
That Cosworth looks like it could cut another car in half and blow up for some extra spectacle while you're at it.
For some reason I downloaded a picture package of nothing but ATS cars. Thought this one might fit here. PS - This is JP Jarier at Argentina 78
A little late to the party as ever. Colour scheme, aesthetic design, performance (soggy Monaco notwithstanding), legality; it's got none of these. The 1984 Tyrrell 012
