Lotus 72
Until today, I wasn´t aware that the Lotus 72 wreck from Rindts fatal crash in Monza 1970 is still existing. I read the new book from Ferdi Kräling about the career of Jochen Rindt. At the last page is a picture from the wreck, telling that it was stored for 25 years in a shed in Italy before being recovered by a Rindt Fan from Vienna who is planning to build it up again.
Why was that car never given back to Team Lotus? Was it because of a legal case following Rindts death? I remember certain difficulties with italian law going on for years regarding the fatal accidents from Peterson and Senna. Does anyone have more information about that? |
