Lotus is a name that evokes fond memories that are old enough to remember their glory days in the 1960's and 70's. Colin Chapman is one of the best designers to have ever created a Grand Prix car, with revolutionary designs being the norm during his time at the team. Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti all won driver's world championships at the team, producing seven constructor's titles in that time.

The death of Chapman signalled the decline of the team in 1982, as no more constructors titles went their way, despite drivers like Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Mika Hakkinen all driving for the team. By 1994, financial issues meant the team folded and would've appeared on the grid for '95, a sad end to a once dominant force in motorsport.

The Lotus name would return to Formula 1 in 2010 and be shared with two teams, the latter of which won two races with world champion Kimi Raikkonen choosing the Enstone outfit for his F1 comeback.
