twobone Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Had a chance to sit in a Lotus 49 the other day. Wow what an eye opening experience. Those guys had big brass ones to be willing to slip down inside those cars and race in anger.
rnr Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Lucky you - I'm jealous. Are you sure thats a 49? The radiator and air intake are more reminiscent of the 69 F3 cars.
twobone Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 I'm not 100% sure. It only had a 4 cylinder Cosworth
rnr Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 The 4 cylinder means it was likely a 69 though I have not seen that single support wing before More info on the 69 is at http://www.britishspeed.com/forum/showthread.php?259-Lotus-by-the-Numbers&p=33381&viewfull=1#post33381
S1Steve Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Lotus Type 49, I not sure what you were sitting in. I thought it was March 882 F3
rnr Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 It does have a Lotus Log on the front and looks very similar to the F2 spec car on this page:
