■Product Description
The Lotus 49B was an innovative machine that brought about a major transformation in the F1 scene in 1968. Based on the famous Lotus 49 that appeared the previous year, it was developed as an advanced version that pursued aerodynamic performance. The most striking feature of this Mexican GP specification is the huge high-mounted rear wing that towers high at the rear of the car. This equipment symbolizes the era when F1 began to seriously move towards gaining downforce through aerodynamics, and Lotus first introduced a full-fledged wing at the 1968 Monaco GP. After that, at the German GP, they adopted a high-wing specification that was mounted even higher. Graham Hill won the 1968 Mexican GP driving this innovative 49B. With this victory in the final race, he won his second F1 World Championship overall. The 49B, which was adorned with the livery of the tobacco brand "Gold Leaf", is also known as one of the earliest cars in F1 history to use sponsor colors. This is a historic car that ushered in a new era of F1, where corporate sponsor liveries were the norm, a departure from the national colors of individual countries that had been the mainstream until then.
