Fenix: Classic Team Lotus 78 body for Tamiya F103 - F104

After the Lotus 49, Fenix Racing is releasing their new, fully-licensed Classic Team Lotus 78 high-quality polycarbonate body for Tamiya F103 and F104 chassis. The Lotus 78, in the iconic black and golden livery, was used during the 1977 and 1978 Formula 1 seasons and was the first to use the ground effect technology.

According the legend, when the Lotus 78 model went to the wind tunnel Tony Rudd told to Colin Chapman “The Mosquito Flies!”.

In 1977 Team Lotus was coming from the “Colin’s Confus-a-car”, aka Lotus 77, which was born with far too many variables to be really competitive and, on top of that, they were still struggling for a solution to compete with flat 12 cylinders coming from Italy…

So, as may other times, the Team find a clever way to fight. The idea itself wasn’t super new, but the Team find a way to used it in a competitive way.
