The Lotus 27 was a Formula Junior racing car that Lotus built for the 1963 season, the last year of the formula, as a junior version of the Lotus 25 Formula One car. Its body was an aluminium monocoque with steel bulkheads. The sides were first made of fibreglass, but they flexed too much, so they were replaced with aluminium. The Team Lotus cars were run by Ron Harris, and Peter Arundell won the 1963 British championship once the initial flexing problems had been solved. The stiffness problems of the new full monocoque were also why the older spaceframe Lotus 22 could still win several races against it early in 1963. The Lotus 32 Formula Two car of 1964 was developed from the 27.
