This is one of the cars that took part in celebrating 50 years of Formula One at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.
It's the Lotus 98T that was driven by Ayrton Senna and Johnny Dumfries in the 1986 F1 season. The Lotus 98T was a development of the 97T and was powered by a 1,494cc V6 Renault-Gordini Turbo engine. Ayrton Senna won two races, and with four second place finishes and two thirds finished in fourth place in the World Drivers Championship, Johnnie Dumfries finishing thirteenth. Lotus finished the season in third place in the Constructors Championship.
Here's the car leaving the pit lane on one of the demonstration runs carried out by a variety of cars during the meeting.
On 15 November 2015 I showed photographs of the Lotus 98T (and 97T) at Donington Park in 2003.
