#70 was the first over 170 mph at Indy.

I purchased this kit in a bag at a show.  I didn't seem to have the fitment problems others had. It was a straightforward build.  The body was left loose for display purposes.

I did remove most of the solid center of the wheel backs so you can see through.

Two major kit errors: It comes with Goodyear tires, but the decal and the real car had Firestones; Although the contingency stickers seem to have changed during the month of May, none of them matched what is in the kit. I had to use some from the stash.

The story behind the Lotus 56 is really interesting, I had no idea a turbine car would be 4WD in either Indy or Formula 1. Cool car, but it must have been hot as hell driving it.
