An 'archive' film charting the move to turbo power by the JPS Lotus Formula One team. Starting from the announcement in 1982, exceptional behind the scenes footage takes you through the full development of the chassis which would carry Renault's hugely powerful turbo engine in the 1983 season. With unprecedented access to the Lotus headquarters in Norfolk, you follow the process from design and model building to racetrack as Elio de Angelis and Nigel Mansell give the new car its first test.

The period also saw the tragic loss of the legendary Colin Chapman, and the film shows how his team overcame his death and continued developing the car which would create a new era in Lotus history.

The DVD also includes 'Anatomie d'Un Depart', an extraordinary short film showing the build up to a Grand Prix start, including rare footage of drivers like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost preparing to race.

38 minutes.
