[grumpy]

StrictPerson,

The trick at LOTUS, and CHAPMAN knew this, was to keep the patch of the four tires on the tarmac, GEOMETRY, not frame rigidity.
Well noted follow up. For the times Chapman, Costin, Broadley, and a mere handful in the UK understood that. The patches were small and the new euro "radials" had just hit, it was tough blending that technology of street then crossing over into racing with that type of tire. Good days for the "small shop bunch".
