The History of the Lotus 72 - The Car That Changed F1

The History of the Lotus 72 - The Car That Changed F1

In the 1970s Colin Chapman, Maurice Philippe and Tony Rudd created a car that would change the face of Formula 1 racing forever. It competed in a total of six different seasons from 1970 to 1975, winning 20 races along the way, making it one of the most successful F1 cars of all time. This car was of course the Lotus 72 and here is its story. Following the development and success of the Lotus 25 and 49, Chapman and Philippe needed to create a car that could take advantage of the aerodynamic developments that were rapidly occurring in motorsport. The 72 would be born out of their work. With its low monocoque chassis, massive rear wings and aggressive appearance, the 72 was like nothing the F1 world had seen before. The Lotus 72 first turned a wheel in anger at the Spanish Grand Prix in April 1970, with Jochen Rindt and a young John Miles at the wheel. While things didn’t exactly go according to plan at the car’s first event, the incredible Lotus soon proved it worth. With brilliant drivers such as Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson at the wheel, the 72 would go on to claim 3 Constructors’ titles and two drivers’ championships during its service. Without a doubt the Lotus 72 is one of the most iconic race cars ever built. It would bring about a new era of Formula 1 development and would solidify Lotus as one of the great teams.
