Gardner predicted that both the car and iRacing Classic Lotus Grand Prix Series would prove extremely popular with members of the iRacing service. “The braking and cornering ability of the Lotus 79 is amazing, and getting the full performance out of the car requires a lot of skill.” “It’s neat that the first historic racecar we’re introducing to the service is one with contemporary performance,” said Tony Gardner, iRacing’s president. Just how fast is the Lotus 79? With its light weight and road-hugging ground effects, the Lotus 79 is about quick enough to match the road-circuit lap times of a modern Ind圜ar. But today, as the Lotus 79 becomes available to members of the service, this remarkable racecar is every bit as fast as it was in its halcyon days 31 years ago, when it carried Mario Andretti to the 1978 Formula One World Championship.Īnd by any standard of measurement it’s still a very quick racecar. Three decades on from their Olympic-winning performances, human athletes are invariably long past their prime. In-sim image of Lotus 79s racing out of the Corkscrew at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
