F1 Sculpture Lotus 98T Tribute

The 98T represents the coming together of two F1 icons, the alignment of two passing stars in the racing firmament – Ayrton Senna and the JPS Lotus. Senna’s star was in rapid ascent at this point and Team Lotus were at the tail-end of their glory days – still genuine contenders but struggling to fill the almighty void left by Chapman’s sudden death in December 1982. It was a void only Grand Prix wins could even begin to fill.

Two seasons passed by with a solitary 2nd place being the best Nigel Mansell and Elio de Angelis could manage. It was always going to take something special to get Lotus winning again. There was definitely something special about that helmet with that livery, the two seemed made for each other. As far as Team Lotus boss Peter Warr was concerned, they were. He was convinced, very early on, that Senna was the missing piece of the puzzle.
