Goodwood will be flying the flag for two icons of British motorsport with its high-speed\u00a0demonstrations at the 78th<\/sup> Members\u2019 Meeting on March 28-29. The double Formula 1 title-winning Lotus 72 and its competitors will take center stage for one of the weekend\u2019s celebrated features, while the 1980s endurance racing Jaguars of Tom Walkinshaw Racing will also claim the spotlight to salute their Le Mans and touring car successes.<\/p>\n

When the Lotus 72 appeared in 1970, it rewrote Formula 1\u2019s rulebook and ended the era of cigar-shaped racers that had ruled the roost for more than a decade. Designed by Maurice Philippe and Colin Chapman, the 72 was the first F1 car to use sidepods; the key to creating much more efficient aerodynamics that remain the basis of single-seat design to this day.<\/p>\n

In an era that is celebrated for the quality of competition among contenders including Tyrrell, McLaren, Brabham and Ferrari, the Lotus 72 claimed two drivers\u2019 titles for Jochen Rindt and Emerson Fittipaldi, and three constructors\u2019 titles. The 78th<\/sup> Members\u2019 Meeting will capture this spirit as the assembled Lotus 72s drive out onto Goodwood Motor Circuit to perform with a number of their rivals.<\/p>\n
