Lotus 24

The Lotus 24 was a Formula One racing car designed by Team Lotus for the 1962 season as a conventional spaceframe back-up to the monocoque Lotus 25, which Colin Chapman kept for the works team. Chapman intended to sell the 24 to privateers. It was a completely different design from the Lotus 21 and shared much of its suspension with the 25, usually with a Coventry Climax FWMV or BRM P56 engine. It made its debut at the 1962 Brussels Grand Prix, and Jim Clark won the Lombank Trophy at Snetterton in one. Its best World Championship result was second place for Trevor Taylor at the 1962 Dutch Grand Prix. Private teams ran it into the mid 1960s with limited success.
