How is it that lotus always, but always get it right?
Whence comes this midas touch that can be applied to Protons, Vauxhalls, countless other cars with dull, inert chassis to turn them into driver's cars? When every single lotus ever is apparently a wonderful steer, how can Audi for one (and VW generally) always get it wrong? Peugeot spent years building a rep. by building cars with built-in rakeability. Have they forgotten how to do it?
It's a black art, you might say, all very hush-hush, but look at these companies falling on their faces time and time again. They're wasting millions and harming reputations by releasing cars which are intrinsically dull, regardless of the power available.
Chapman is long gone but his principles, his insights, his dedication to driving enjoyment live on. I for one am very grateful that such a small curiosity of a company seems to have mastered one of the most challenging aspects of modern business : the retention of knowledge.
