andrepinto Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 After seeing this beauty appear in the tv it was love at first sight. My passion for formula 1 and Lego made me try to build in Lego This was the result, I hope you like it. Lotus 18 was the first mid-engined car built by Lotus and was a marked improvement over Chapman's early and only moderately successful front-engined formula cars, the 12 and 16 Its first World Championship win happened when driven by Stirling Moss the car took a dominant win at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. It was an early taste of things to come. Moss also won the United States Grand Prix at the end of the season helping Lotus finish second in the constructors' championship. Moss repeated his win in a legendary race at Monaco the following year, beating off the more powerful and faster 'sharknose' Ferraris.

andrepinto Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 i hope so, thx for the support Quote
deraven Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Looks great! Creative solution for the windscreen, and the interior details in the cockpit are really nice, not to mention all the mechanical components. There's some stiff competition in this contest, but I'd say you've got a top contender here! Quote
Man with beard Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 This looks great, but I'm not familiar with the real life car. Why are there holes in the sides? Quote
Tim_AZ Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Beautiful. That era of F1 cars will always be my favorite. Quote
