Lotus 78 and 79: The Ground Effect Cars

By (author) John Tipler





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

The Lotus 78 was the car that started the ground effect revolution in Formula 1. By means of ducts and flexibile skirts, the air that passed under the car was used, literally, to suck it to the ground. It created a sensation and revived the british team's fortunes. Its succesor, the 79, was a true 'wing car', and beautiful too, though it made its debut in a field that had already been transformed by the 78.
