Historical Information:

The Lotus 72D is considered one of the most revolutionary cars of the 1970s, thanks to the innovative design by Colin Chapman, who moved the radiators to the sides, improving aerodynamics and handling. The Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0 V8 engine completed the package, making the car extremely competitive. Chassis number 7, used by Fittipaldi at Brands Hatch, was crucial for winning the 1972 world championship title.
