Mario Andretti John Player Special Lotus 79

Please like, comment, and subscribe! I got lucky to see Mario Andretti’s Lotus 79 at LAX just before being either loaded or shipped off by truck. My suspicions are that it may be on display for the Long Beach GP weekend later this years but I could be wrong. From Wikipedia: The Lotus 79 is a Formula One car designed in late 1977 by Colin Chapman, Geoff Aldridge, Martin Ogilvie, Tony Rudd, Tony Southgate and Peter Wright of Lotus. The Lotus 79 was the first F1 car to take full advantage of ground effects aerodynamics. Over the span of its lifetime, the Lotus 79 took 7 wins, 10 pole positions, 121 points and won the last drivers’ and constructors’ world championships for Lotus. The 79 is credited with pushing Formula One into the modern aerodynamics era. #formula1 #marioandretti #LAX
