This car took part in the Grand Prix Masters race for F1 cars from 1966-1986 at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.
It's the 1979 Lotus 80 of Sid Hoole which has a 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine. The car was designed by Colin Chapman to maximise the benefits of ground effects produced by the body but it proved to be unsuccessful. Mario Andretti competed in only three Grand Prix races in the car, finishing in third place in Spain and retiring from the Monaco and French Grands Prix.
