One of the best moments of the 74th Members' Meeting back in March occured when two groups of 'ground effect' F1 cars took to the track for an awesome high-speed demo. One of those cars was the mighty Lotus 79, a stunning black and gold, aero-driven powerhouse propelled by a growling Cosworth DFV.

What a glorious pairing they made, but what was it like to be the man tasked with piloting such a machine? Enter our friends over at Racer magazine, a helmet mount, and an action camera. The result is this awesome footage from Laguna Seca. Just listen to the legendary yell of that Cosworth-designed engine as it is pushed round the famous curves of the Californian circuit. It's almost as if Mario Andretti is sat next to you.
