Lotus 72 story on the telly.
Discussion
John Miles was at one of the speakers at Michael Oliver's Lotus Film Festival a couple of years ago. He worked for many years in OEM manufacturer vehicle development so is highly conversant in these things - interesting guy.
I enjoyed the film and look forward to the next one. McLaren M23, Tyrrell P34, Brabham BT44...the UK was producing some interesting cars in those days. I accept that McLaren may have been Kiwi and Brabham Australian, mind...

er......those Film Festivals (Jim Clark, Le Mans, Racing Lotus) were a collaboration between Michael and I!! I supplied the films to show and Mike & I did the rest between us! Glad you enjoyed it. You may have noticed me filming the weekend's events.....I've been too busy to edit together a dvd of it all.
Well I never! Just been back through the article I wrote at the time of the last one in 2010. Turns out I mention you by name, Gary. A couple of times. Must be my age - this is what happens when you hit 29!

Yes, fair comment, Mark. But it was getting difficult to get hold of people who drove the car latterly. John Watson was one (1 race), Brian Henton obviously and Jim Crawford, but he passed on before we got to him.
I am still looking into the possibility of going to the US in the New Year and filming an interview with Ronnie Peterson's mechanic, apparently he has a ton of good stories.
