Now the history of Lotus cars, the ones that have contributed to the legend of the name are taken care of by Classic Team Lotus - managed by his son, Colin, Clive Chapman - through which the mechanics of yesterday revive the myth of English in today's races, those dedicated for gentlemen drivers.
Thanks to the complicity of Paul Vass, Italian coach with a passion for mechanics across the Channel, who works in the structure of Clive Chapman when the races of the F1 history comes to Italy, we had the opportunity to bring the son of the legendary Colin for pearls F1 and beyond. The owner of Classic Team Lotus is a fictional character who lives the reality of F1 just like his father, face to face with the mechanics of the box and even helps to move the cars if necessary.
In short, is a man of F1, but first and foremost an engineer who carefully guards the creatures of his father. Always kind, helpful with the fans and happy to live in motors, has an addictive personality, just like his father who looks so awkward. It will be for all these reasons that the cars in the pits British there is always someone who wants to meet him, shake his hand, ask him some questions, or simply ask for an autograph.
But let us interview and we start from a legitimate curiosity. "In 1991 we had a large collection of cars and had to take care of them, so the idea of keeping the best and create a workshop to provide technical support to other cars. It is not necessarily a family tradition of the Classic Team Lotus, but is also the desire to restore racing cars because I'm an engineer and I am very interested in their technical solutions.
" "Absolutely love all the Lotus, but I feel those are the ones closest to the John Player Special livery, are the most popular and then were taken to the race by legendary drivers such as Ayrton Senna." "For the history of Lotus one of the pilots in which they are most certainly bound is Jim Clark, but his personal history, certainly Elio De Angelis, the Roman driver who died 25 years ago and commemorated at Monza last weekend.
We had the same age and a beautiful relationship of friendship, Elio has always been very loyal to the team and very respectful of the family when my father passed away. " "The thing I loved the excitement that my father was sent to those who were near him, because he was someone who made things happen.
In addition, he was a flamboyant, and was much loved by the people: he was an icon of 'motoring'. "It 's an initiative that I am in favor for the inevitable return of image and I hope that the current difficulties can be overcome best." "A pretty figure could be Jenson Button, because he is English and loves what he does like my father, and then plus he completed the race, one thing that my father liked a lot." "I find a certain continuity between the past and Lotus those of today, as then, because the Lotus is committed to ruicerca of cutting-edge solutions, as did my father, who would be happy to build cars more powerful and, consequently, higher performance .
Indeed, in today's vehicles has increased the weight - admit when we point out the particular - but they are always cars that hold the road well and are beautiful. Today, then, has the luxury and comfort than the 60's, and this affects the overall weight of the car but is the market that requires it.
