Via Retro Article "The Long Read: Lotus and the "25" Part 1
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 12:35 pm
If you are passionate about old cars and interested in a quirky website blog covering all sorts of cars, this Danish website blog https://viaretro.com/ (in English) may indeed amuse you!
I wrote a first article for Via Retro in September on the Spa Six Hours 2019. For the record, this is a 100% amateur effort. I'm not aspiring to become the next Buckland, Crombac, Ludvigsen, Robinshaw or Tipler!
This second article is a "Long Read" based on my chance encounter with John Bowers, Andy Middlehurst and Bob Dance.

I would like to thank many forum members including Michel Schauwers, Brian Buckland, Rob Mazzini, Bob Herzog for their photos and ideas. It is a nerdy ramble in 5 parts:
Part 1: Motor Racing in 1961
Part 2: Chassis Design – Thinking Out of the Box
Part 3: Lotus in 1962 – Chassis Revolutions, Five New Cars and a New Engine
Part 4: The Lotus 25 – The First Modern GP Car
Part 5: The Legend of Lotus 25 R 4
I hope you enjoy it!
