Lotus 49B at 1969 German Grand Prix
December 16th, 2009 Posted in Lotus, Motorsports, Nurburgring history
Don’t you just love this old archival image from the 1969 German Grand Prix. A timely way to pay respects to Colin Chapman, who passed away 27 years ago today, the image features Graham Hill behind the wheel of a legendary Lotus 49B, possibly taken over the jump at the start of Pflantzgarten.

hmmm… i would rather think about the old Brünnchen Jump which no longer exists after the great reconstruction in the early 70s…
