    This is the Lotus 72 car. It was a revolutionary car due to Colin Chapman. He was a really great innovative engineer. Also, it was a really big drawing – it took 45 days of work, and very often I was forced to stop because my finger had no more sensation because the shadows were made by little points.

    Must be the 1973 version, with the rear wing hung so far back. To think that this car was still winning races in 1974, four years after its introduction! Thanks, Giorgio.

    John Player Special, and special it was! I have always been a fan of Lotus, probably why I own one today

    Wonderful drawings with amazing detail. Thanks for sharing!
