Lotus 62s
The Lotus 62s started their carreer at Brands Hatch, with the LV220 engine. By the end of the season, they were fitted with the upgraded LV240 power unit.
When and where did they run powered by this last one? At Brands Hatch, these cars were fitted with a specific aerodynamic : right and left spoilers at front, with another one on the front bonnet, and rear wings. How did the aerodynamic package evolve race after race? At last, why did Colin Chapman stop this program at the end of the 1969 season? |
