Lotus 76
Historic Formula One races are some of the most interesting at all. Because you can see different types of constructions here. The most special things on cars are seen in the seventies. As in the case of the Lotus 76, which I photographed at the races at the Brno circuit.
Lotus 76 was intended to be a more advanced version of the Lotus 72, powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV and featuring modified aerodynamics, a lighter chassis, longer wheelbase and a narrower, lower monocoque. The car also featured a bi-plane rear wing. After several failed races, where the electronic clutch was damaged, the brake failed or the engine overheated. The project was ended and the rest of the season was rife with the proven Lotus 72.

Historické závody Formule 1 jsou jedny z nejzajímavějších vůbec. Protože zde vidíte různé typy konstrukcí. Nejvíce zvláštních věcí je vidět na autech z let sedmdesátých. Jako v případě modelu Lotus 76, který jsem fotografoval na závodech na Brněnského Autodromu.
Lotus 76 byl navržen tak, aby byl pokročilejší verzí modelu Lotus 72 poháněný motorem Ford Cosworth DFV a vyznačoval se modifikovanou aerodynamikou, lehkým podvozkem, delším rozvorem a užším a nižším monokokem. Na vozidle se také objevilo zadní dvojité křídlo. Po několika neúspěšných závodech, kde byla poškozena elektronická spojka, došlo k selhání brzd, nebo přehřátí motoru, byl projekt ukončen a zbytek sezóny se dojel na osvědčeném modelu Lotus 72.

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
