HISTORY  - The lotus 72 is seen by many to be the most beautiful, innovative and iconic Formula One racing car of the 1970s. Colin Chapman's revolutionary idea of moving the radiator from the front of the car to a pair in sidepods allowed a sweeping change in the looks, handling and ability of Formula One cars. Firstly in Gold Leaf colors and then in the stunning black and gold of JPS, the Lotus 72 swept all before it in the early 1970's proving to be the class of the field. Powered by a just as legendary engine - the Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0 V8 - the Lotus mated the power of this world beating engine with handling that left the rest of the field behind. This chassis - identity number 7 (of 9) - was raced at the 1972 British Grand Prix by the soon to be World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi!! 

Emerson Fittipaldi won the F1 World Championship in in 1972, becoming the youngest driver to win the World Championship at just        25 years of age. The Brazilian driver showed great maturity, maintaining a regularity in getting points. He won 5 races: Spain, Belgium, Great Britain, Austria and Italy. Just the victory in the Italian GP graduated with two races in advance World Champion, ahead of      Steward with Tyrell, Hulme with McLaren and Ickx with the Ferrari.  The black livery and golden lettering of the John Player Special brand of cigarettes became a fantastic design, wich the English team took until 1986.
