Uncle_Buck Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (In my humble opinion).http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/videos/a16810/darios-dream-special-report/Watch as Dario Franchitti drives the Lotus-Ford Type 38, the Colin Chapman creation in partnership with Ford that won Indy in 1965. The sounds and the look of this car do it all for me. It looks and sounds like a race car should and then some. All back in the day when each and every driver EARNED their seat and the cars took real courage & skill to drive competitively. Rides were not 'bought' back then and the cars were innovative each and every year - not the 'spec', cookie-cutter cars of Indy racing today.I was at the brickyard in 1965, the year this car won the 500. There were Novi's, Offy's and the Ford DOHC V-8 among a sea of chassis designs. Didn't know how good it was back then, but I do have my memories.Enjoy Dario's respectful look of the Jimmy Clark Lotus-Ford 1965 Indy winner.
