It's never occurred to me before that the Indy circuit can be captured from a single high vantage point camera! Very handy for TV I guess, but the full circuit is one of the best tracks in the world. Great that's it's back in use these days with GT's etc. but Johnny, Lotus & Brands....doesn't get much more formative for me. Wonderful.
@@michaelmcgrath2380Yes Paddock Hill Bend is one of the greats. Great for spectators hoping to see lots of action, a great challenge for drivers, and just unique and therefore very special. But the full circuit, the whole thing is special. Sheene Curve is another classic especially.
With the Chris Murphy designed 107 and Herbert and Mika in the cockpit it seemed as if Lotus might finally be on the edge of something good. However it never quite came together and over the next two and a half seasons the updated 107 fell back through the grid. The car (a Leyton House in disguise) did look good though in those Castrol colors
I was so perplexed by Lotus' finances during this era. They ran out of money, despite having major companies like Castrol, Tommy Hilfiger, and Hitachi all over their car.
The heartbreak was at Monza. Johnny had qualified well up the grid only to be taken out by Irvine on the run up to the chicane. That was their last competitive showing.

I'd never seen this either. Great view, but does miss out on a lot. Turn 1 is still one of my favorite corners in racing.

This looks the 102D run at the beginning of the 92 season before the 107 arrived.
@@paulm579Yup, that's the Lotus 102D with Ford Cosworth engine. The 107 was unready that moment.

Yeah….errrrmmm… it’s not the most interesting of tracks is it? 😂… certainly not the biggest
That's about a 1/3 to 1/2 of the full circuit - the indy layout
