SZ for the livery alone.

F1 cars aren't my thing usually, but older ones are a little better looking (IMO) than newer ones. Still not sure whether to go meh or cool though. I do like the black livery, I'll hit it with a low cool.

Lotus did black and old gold beautifully. Racing history notwithstanding, I am usually more impartial to the T98 among Lotus' F1 efforts. So while I don't want to go Sub-Zero on this car, I don't want to disrespect this car. So I'll give it a strong Cool.

Simply gorgeous.

And that Livery? Forever perfect in my book.

SZ.

This is probably my favourite of the classic Team Lotus F1 cars. My friend's dad used to have a model of this car in their basement that I always liked looking at. It's fun to drive in just about every sim it gets included in too, and it seems to be all over the place. Assetto Corsa, Project CARS etc.

It's more advanced and easier to drive than the "death bathtub" era of F1, but it's also slow enough to give you time to think compared to newer F1 cars from the 80s and onwards. That's why I always enjoy driving these 70s-era F1 cars the most.
