Team Lotus: The Indianapolis Years

by Andrew Ferguson, Mario Andretti (Foreword by)

Team Lotus took the Indianapolis 500 race by storm between 1963 and 1969. In a race previously dominated by home-grown American cars and drivers, double Formula 1 World Champion Jim Clark scored a stunning victory in 1965, and twice finished second in his Lotus cars powered by Ford engines. Here is the definitive inside story of how – encouraged by the great Dan Gurney – the tiny British Lotus team, headed by Colin Chapman, took aim at an icon of American sporting life and rewrote motor racing history. First published in 1996 and out of print for years.
