Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, an inspirational car maker is chosen to sponsor a work of art which represents their contribution to sport or society.
This year, on their 60th anniversary since Colin Chapman founded the firm, Lotus sponsored an amazing 28 metre high sculpture by designer, Gerry Judah. Weighing in at 60 tons, the hollow steel infinity track showcases 6 iconic Formula 1 cars. The Lotus 32B(Jim Clark, 1965), Lotus 49B(Graham Hill, 1968), Lotus 72E(Emerson Fittipaldi, 1973) Lotus 79(Mario Andretti 1978), Lotus 99T(Ayrton Senna, 1987) and the most recent F1 Team Challenger.
This spectacular sculpture is not only to be admired as an exceptional piece of contemporary art, but also as a homage to the greatness of Lotus and its drivers of the past and present.
