via racingnews365.comLegendary Ayrton Senna F1 car set for 'extra mile' revivalMemento Exclusives has announced a significant revival project centered around the legendary Lotus 97T, a car famously driven by Ayrton Senna and Elio De Angelis during the 1985 Formula 1 season. Only ten full-scale replicas will be constructed in partnership with Classic Team Lotus, marking the company's first venture into heritage editions. The replicas will be built using original materials and construction techniques, with valuable input from individuals who worked on the original car.
The Lotus 97T is notable for its historical significance, having returned Team Lotus to winning form after the passing of Colin Chapman. In 1985, Senna achieved a remarkable victory at the Portuguese Grand Prix, winning by over a minute, while De Angelis also secured a win at Imola. The project aims to capture the excitement and legacy of the 97T, with Clive Chapman highlighting the extraordinary interest and emotion surrounding the car.

via formula1.comThe car I loved and the car I loathed – with Nigel MansellNigel Mansell reflects on his experiences with various Formula 1 cars, highlighting both his favorites and those he disliked. He particularly loved the Williams FW11B for its power and performance, despite its challenging handling, which he described as a 'monster.' This car played a significant role in his career, contributing to his success in the sport.
Conversely, Mansell had negative experiences with the Lotus 92 and Lotus 81B. The Lotus 92, which featured active suspension, was notorious for its instability, leading to accidents during races. The Lotus 81B, which he drove during his debut, was also difficult to manage due to its longer wheelbase, making it less competitive on the track.
