Product Overview
Brand New/Never Used/Original Packaging
Policar Lotus 72 3rd Monaco GP 1972 Emerson Fittipaldi, #8
The chassis featured a stressed engine, as did the Lotus 49, and the whole package was years ahead of the competition. Driven by Jochen Rindt and Emerson Fittipaldi, it helped both conquer the F1 Driver’s World Championship, twice, as well as bringing home three F1 World Constructor’s titles for Lotus. Official Lotus drivers for 1970 were Jochen Rindt and John Miles. Rindt quickly put his talent to good use and thanks to the Lotus 72 potential quickly won the Dutch, French, British and German GPs, before dying in a qualifying crash in Monza. He was replaced by Emerson Fittipaldi, who won the US Grand Prix thus helping Rindt win, posthumously, the World Championship. Lotus also won its fourth constructors’ championship.
