To me, the Lotus 79 in JPS livery is one of the most beautiful things ever devised by human hands.
Lol
It is a nice livery
mi too, was amazing
I had a model of this car. It sat on my desk while I did my schoolwork at home. I found myself just staring at it.
It was the first thing that attracted me to f1
now that is a proper f1 car.
Best ever
@@Beemstarr f2004 exists
Super video of the greatest F1 car of all time, IMO.
Black Beauty is why I got into F1, motorsport and the study of fluid dynamics. It was a life changer for me.
Only later did I learn that the most iconic Lotus road car was a type 79 as well, the Esprit S1.
Same here. I never got to actually formally study fluid dynamics but I learnt to fly, which taught me a lot and I was eventually involved in a research project involving the aerodynamic stability - or lack of it - in F1 cars.
The Lotus 79 in the black and gold JPS colours was my absolute favourite F1 car ever, it just looked so right!! Watched it at four F1 races, came in first in each plus two 1-2's😁😁🇬🇧
My favourite Grand Prix car, the most beautiful and innovative of all F1 cars
The Lotus 79 is ageing well, just like the 97T, the 72, and the 49!!
Absolutely the most beautiful race car EVER!
I grew up watching these cars in the 70s. Something special about that black and gold.
My wife has a passion for the Subaru Impreza which is black.
My racing livery on my GSXR was standard Suzuki colours.
My bike has been sprayed black to match my wife's Impreza and as number 5 is now getting the Trevor Nation JPS livery although has to be black and gold number 5.
One of , if not, the most beautiful formula one cars of all time,this is where I started my love affair for formula one
"...and giving a cheery wave to the Ferrari team." Boy, I'll bet.
Beating Ferrari must have been most satisfying for Chapman, after all the shit and insults Enzo gave the Lotus team when they were starting out.
those "garagists" dominated F1 and made the FIA and Ferrari crazy, Lotus and Williams where years ahead in terms of technology ( the F1 cars look like they look because of the Lotus construction techniques like the monocoque chassis, torsion bar supension, sidepods, front and rear wing and many more) so the FIA was always busy trying to ban every technology that would make the Ferrari cars obsolete (namely every technology that the before mentioned teams achieved)
Who had to spend the most money? Lotus, who bought their engines from Ford and transmissions from Hewland, while the could spend their time developing the chassis and particularly the aero, or Ferrari, who developed everything in-house? Who had the most to lose?
@@Salvavideocrack Mate, you have no idea about this. The FIA, as you call it, wasn’t even the FIA back then. Not in terms of control of motorsport. It was the CSI and the FISA. You should look up the FISA-FOCA war and then come back and talk about it. This wasn’t simple tribalism. Making rules is a thankless task and anyone who does it or is charged with enforcing them is usually pilloried, however well-intentioned their efforts.
@@thethirdman225 Yes, I remember that. FISA + FOCA = FIASCO was a pretty common comment at the time :-)
The first car model I ever made. Still love it!
Greets, T.
The most beautiful Formula One car ever.
Came from the final episode of Top Gear Season 27, and I'm not disappointed at all! What a machine.
Proportionally one of the classic beauties. One can't help but wonder how much more that design could have been developed if Chapman hadn't prioritized the Lotus 80.
Lotus f1: le più belle auto da corsa al mondo. Grazie Chapman
That car and in that livery was, Boss!
great video, thanks for sharing with us, lovers of the great icons of Formula 1
Was mesmerised by this car as a kid. Mostly from the Tamiya 1/24 scale model of it. A local hobby shop had it and I would always go pick up the box and just look at it, was totally captivated
I remember watching these cars when I was a kid
The most beautiful car of all the Time
My favourite car with my favourite team and drivers
These ground effect venturi tunnels from 79 plus active suspension, anti-lock brakes, traction control, fly-by-wire, pneumatic valve springs, and continuously variable transmission from Williams FW15C would become the ultimate Formula One car.
Mrugank Dongre TJI system + ERS,blown diffuser
Mrugank Dongre You would have to wear the suites like fighter pilots do. The amount of downforce and speed you would have would be out of this world. It would suck the track up no track would be a match for its speed.
The most beautiful f1 car ever. Not even close.
Wonderful video. Great work.
My favourite F1 car
The most beautiful F1 racing car ever
the most beautiful car in the F1 history....
SG A IndyCar history....*
@@talonsnowvlogs818 no my friend, Formula 1.
SG A no Mario Andretti is IndyCar not F1 my friend*
@@talonsnowvlogs818 the Lotus 79 was a F1 car
Talon SnowVlogs Andretti won F1 Championship my friend, i think he might even have won 2, maybe, im not sure.
In my diecast collection I have a 1/18 Minichamps version of that car and I think not a single day goes by without me staring at it....
My favorite looking open-wheel car of all time.
My favourite F1 design and car ever
The JPS Lotus’ color scheme is legendary!
RIP. Ronnie Peterson.
Simplemente hermoso!!!!
Rindt and Fittipaldi inthe Lotus 72
Andretti in the Lotus 79
Senna in the Lotus 98T
icons.....
E a Ronnie non dai una Lotus?
Always beautiful and I own one! It was made specially for me by Corgi!
And now the ground-effect car is coming back In 2021!
Long Live Colin Chapman’s legacy!
I was only 4 in 1978 but I do remember watching Formula 1 on BBC1 and hearing Murray Walker always talking about Mario and Ronnie. I have a vivid memory of the crash at Monza and then hearing that Ronnie had passed away. Its because of Mario, Ronnie and that beautiful car than I became such a big F1 fan. Even today it still looks stunning, its literally sex on wheels! 😛
Need some posters on the garage wall !
Tanta roba Black beauty
La voiture qui a révolutionné la Formule 1. Magnifique coup de génie de Colin Chapman et de son équipe. La Lotus 78 était le prototype.
The guy who designed the livery is friends with my dad and lives down the road from me
Veramente? Il nome.....
I'm sure that, had the Type 88 been allowed to race, it would have dominated every event then. Banned to stop Chapman from winning everything again!
Mario's and Ronnie ' s cars in 1978
Hermoso F1
I remember this car from when I was a kid.
I saw that car at the 1978 Austrian Grand Prix...
Ronnie...
Lotus Mk4 79 , o f1 mais lindo de todos.
O F1 mais lindo de todos os tempos.
Mario help with the development of this car
He did. In the 1970s and 1980s he was probably the best test and development driver in the world.
Mr .. Kirk aveva verniciato di nero il sotto carena perché a suo .. dire,color nero .. attira nero … E, l’asfalto è nero … Pertanto nel 1989 .. Mr .. Spok si occupò della veloce spennellata nel box monzese dell’epoca ..
It's a shame Lotus couldn't recapture the glory they so enjoyed in this era under it's founder Colin Chapman.
In 1988 years old I have a toys jhon player special F1...
When I was a kid the JPS was IT.
めちゃくちゃかっこいい🥰🥰
色合いが歴代最高
Eu amo este carro
I think ayrton senna drove for lotus and won right?
He did indeed. He won in torrential rain in Portugal.
Sure didn't hurt to have Mario driving!
Closely followed due to team orders by Ronnie Peterson.
No difference. Mario Andretti and Emerson Fitipaldi are epic race car drivers
Lotus was my name ever and ever n
🏁🇬🇧My lovely Formel 1 Racecars forever and absolutely all the Times.
Peak F1
They represent British Victory
@The Father - With a wee bit of help from your American friends (in the engine compartment).
@@Loulovesspeed Also the driver.
@@thethirdman225 - Correct! Mario was one of just two Americans to have won the world championship in F1.
@@Loulovesspeed British designers at cosworth my friend.
@@No.Handle31 - That's right. Mike and Keith were mechanical wizards at what they did!
What nice cars have been created at that time,not only in in the formula one scenery..... without complicated high-tec equipments which
has more and more less to do with real car driving.....
I smoked JPS and nothing else at the time made cool by Lotus just like me. 😎😎
È il più bel Ferro di formula 1 indipendente
RIP Ronnie, he should have easily won that season
In my opinion, the only f1 car with an argument for being more beautiful is the 7up Jordan 191.
Not even close, besides the Leyton House March is the most beautiful car of that period anyway.
That looks like the AGV from wipeout 2048
you ask any "seasoned" F1 fan, JPS is the most beautiful car out there.
right, its what made me fall in love with cars in general, when I first saw her. I was 8years old and still remember
12 Senna
My first memory of a toy car is this aged 4/5
I had for years
Black Beauty 🫡🔥
Fan car goes brrr..
0:20 wasn't that what Bernie did to the brabham bt46b
No, that had a snowmobile engine that acted to 'suck' air from under the car to achieve a similar result. Dangerous because it threw dust, rocks, and clag at following cars...thats why it was banned after 1 race.
@@philgiglio9656 the BT46B was never actually banned. It was deemed legal by FISA to race to the end of 78 season. Brabham chose not to race it, after pressure on Bernie from other team owners. Listen to any Gordon Murray interview about his design. The fan was powered directly from the gearbox using 4 clutches. The fan throwing stones back at other cars is a myth circulated by Mario Andretti in Sweden during practice. Murray, as an engineer, states that the centrifugal forces of the fan will throw any debris sideways, never directly back. It was not designed like the Chapparal fan car which had the separate snowmobile engine (although Murrays next fan car for 79 season would be based on that design).
@@philgiglio9656 you are confusing the BT46B with the Chaparral 2J
For different reasons though. Chapman didn't want the rivals to know what lotus had discovered to make the cars to fast, so started sandbagging to throw them off the scent.
Brabham was sandbagging to not make people too angry, and Bernie lose his spot as head of FOCA. But it wasn't enough, he had to stop running the cars or the other teams would abandon their support for bernie heading up FOCA.
I didnt struggle to find a better one F2004
Really? That's not even my favourite car from that season.
Geez they messed it up the next year however.
Ronnie Peterson :(
I wonder who was driving his car with the tribute helmet of Ronnie
Ronnie Peterson var den bästa föraren. Vila i frid. :(
I clicked this thinking it was Hamilton.........black beauty.
5 !! .. E …
There was one car from that era that ate it for breakfast but all your father and Mario did was complain and lie about it's big cooling fan on the back👌
Stai parlando di quel elettrodomestico con la ventola? Non farmi ridere
DOWNFORCE!!!
Why band it now?! Why, why why?!
They didn’t ban it. This car was eventually retired when others started going faster.
