Lotus 80 Mario Andretti 1979 action photo Brands Hatch

Striking photo of the dramatic but unsuccessful Lotus 80 F1 car from 1979 at speed during testing at Brands Hatch.

Despite having the combined talents of Colin Chapman as the designer and Mario Andretti (seen here at the wheel) and Carlos Reuterman as the drivers, the radical ground-effect car was a bit of a clunker and raced very little during the season.
