Ferrari has been in Formula 1 for its entire history, Alfa Romeo dominated the early part of F1’s story, Williams and McLaren dominated the ‘80s and ‘90s, Mercedes and Red Bull today. But one team stood astride motorsport in the 1960s and 1970s, innovating and at times dominating: Lotus.
Video: The seven best Lotus racing cars ever
While F1 was the clear focus for the team, winning races with the Lotus 18 before titles followed with the 72, Lotus also branched out into almost every other form of motorsport, racing in the Indianapolis 500, competing in sportscars, winning in touring cars and even rallying.
We’ve had a go at picking the best cars produced by that incredible team from Norfolk, from the iconic 18 to the legendary 78, and let us tell you, it wasn’t easy. We will absolutely have missed off at least one car you think should be in here, so why not let us know which one in the comments.
