18 Jan 2017|1,163 views
In the annals of motor racing, few machines are as iconic as the Lotus-Climax Type 33, chassis number R11. This is the car that was driven by Jim Clark to first place in the 1965 Belgian, British, German and Syracuse Grands Prix; and the Lotus in which he won his second World Championship.
It is only right that this amazing piece of motorsport history be the centrepiece of the Motor Sport Hall of Fame at Race Retro - the international historic motorsport show - held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, U.K. from 24th to 26th February - where the R11 will make its first public appearance in over four decades.
When the Type 33 made its first appearance in 1964, it represented the peak of monocoque chassis design and Clark's Lotus, the second of six models to be completed, was powered by a 1.5-litre Coventry Climax V8 engine. The Motor Sport Hall of Fame at Race Retro will feature a wealth of stunning racing cars and motorcycles, as well as heroes of rallying.
