The 38 was the first rear-engined car ever to win the famous Indianapolis race, leading the way for every car on the grid today. Are you looking forward to the Indy 500 this weekend? #gwspeedweek #Indy500 #Lotus

Before you ask, it's offset because it was made for oval racing.
Or even after you all ask, I got here late OK.
I can imagine that Franchitti had to take those right turns very careful due to the design of the car being made for left turns.
@@bloqk16 The car will turn right. But all the weight is moved to the left and the change in camber and caster means it doesnt want to turn right well lol.
Notice the suspension offset for left oval racing!
The control arms are shorter on the left side of the car.
@Mark Stopkey . . . it was a good thing Franchitti wasn't trying to run some hot laps into those right turns. xD
Righteousness noise! There's a raw visceral quality to the sound of these era cars that modern day F1 cars are unable to duplicate.
Jim Clark, there will never be anyone better.
what a crazy indy 500 suspension setup
Funny looking thing
Why
I see it now
I was thinking for a moment that my monitor is going bad. Than I've read Indy 500 and all become clear :)
Absolutely glorious! Kudos for posting the soundtrack we all want to hear for cars like this - and without the commentary!
More thrilled by a scarce minute of this than a whole formula one season...
Jim Clark is the GOAT
Absolutely !
Good night Jim Clark, wherever you are
old cars have a personality
What a racing car should sound like!
music to the ears 💙
Dario is such a huge Jimmy Clark fanatic, he deserved this as this car is closely associated with Clark, and the car deserved to be driven by a Scot, which Dario is, to celebrate the type's most successful driver. He's driven Jimmy's #82 car too, the vid is here on RUclips and well worth a watch. Rest in peace James Clark jr, OBE, 1936-1968. Flower of Scotland, will we see your like again?
Bellissimo. That sound's just so throaty and aggressive, I love it.
It's a tremendous marvel to see a historic museum piece being driven for public display; as that Lotus 38 is a priceless vehicle that was transported overseas for this event. The insurance alone for that endeavor must have been astronomical.
That's Bobby Johns' car #83. Team car to Clark's winning #82 in 1965.
Gotta love those pipes!
What a pretty car!
Fantastic! Noticed the amazing amount of suspension offset on the driver's right side for oval racing too.
What an awesome machine.
I noticed that Dario Fanchitti was honoring his fellow Scotsman Jim Clark with an open-face black helmet and goggles. It was nice touch to that driving display with that historically accurate element to it. The one missing aspect was the scarf to cover the face; but considering there were no other racers on the course, that's understandable.
I still vividly recall the sound of the Ford Indy DOHC from 50 years ago at (the then) Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, California; where it was a USAC Champ Car road race; where Mario Andretti in his Hawk-Ford (DOHC Indy V8) kept on the tail of Dan Gurney's pushrod Ford V8 Eagle throughout the event (with John Cannon in the mix with a Volstead-Chevy); and that DOHC Indy V8 engine sound was nearly ear-splitting when pushed to red-line . . . even from a spectator's distance. In comparison, Gurney's pushrod Ford had a low-sounding rumble.
Something about old engines man, the way they scream and rev up, gives them personality.
It’s almost like they’ have straight pipes or something 🙄
@@trentonuab You goose are you blind
@@adamheazlett1179 Trent was being ironic.
YES! Move videos like this please!
that sound!
Sensacional
Never realised the car is so asymmetric. Left hand side suspension looks almost half as short as the right hand side.
Truffel12 For racing ovals.
Why are the axles shorter on the left side of the car?
Set up for oval racing (it was used for Indy 500)
@@AIRDRAC oh, thank you!
Would it be possible, always to monitor the final lap time?
Mostly for comparison.
Hi John, not all cars run timed, if there is no time on the vids, the car was running as a demonstration.
❤❤❤❤
4.2 litre V8 - 500HP
the magnesium wheels could use a good polishing
Bobby Johns's #83, not Jimmy's #82 -- but virtually identical -- mount with a 255 CI Ford very similar to the original Shelby Cobra? Not quite. (Johns drive #83 to 7th place from 22nd on the grid, qualifying over 5 mph slower than Clark. A. J. Foyt and Dan Gurney drove 38s, as well that year, from the pole to 15th and from 3rd to 26th, respectively. And Al Miller (???) started 7th to finish 4th.) But here's the clinker: THIS CAR was NOT driven at Indy by =anyone= in '65 and is in fact the car Jimmy drove to 2nd place there in 1966 repainted from red & white long afterwards to the 1965 green and yellow livery. Last I knew it was part of a collection in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Beautiful car and very famous but I bet it is a bear to drive to the right !!!
Why this car is shorter on the one side and longer on the other side?
For oval racing (left turns)
Haven't watched Indy nor Nascar in decades.
A tube on wheels.
Why doesn't the car has symmetrical suspension??
The car is off set to the left, no?! Looks to me as if the left wheels are way closer to the body than the right ones?..
Yes its oval track setup
@@rofipratama4 Ah
@@HardcoreMotors Check out old photos of front engine roadsters from the same period.They all have off-set suspension.Its not some weird and wonderful thing that Chapman created.
Looks so slow, but you have to remember it’s not being driven in anger!
modern f1 with their little, ugly v6s are nothing, compared with this old one!
:) I agree, but the Lotus 38 didn't race in F1. Despite that, in concept and design it is similar to its F1 contemporary the Lotus 33.
@@bbb462cid A lot of the design principles from the 38 found their way onto the 49.
@@johnbates6133where do I claim diferently?
sounds too long geared,or he wasent reving it,pity
The offset disturbs me xd
It's not the same car as shown in the picture, great car though!
Shame he can't drive or change gears
If it’s to valuable to race don’t race it . Otherwise ring it’s neck . Honestly what’s the point ??
