As Team LotusprincipalColinChapman and chiefdesignerMaurice Philippe started developing thé new LotusType 72for thé
1970 season, theysettodesigna carthat could run thé fuli racedistanceona setof softer—and thus faster—tires. To this end,
Type 72 adoptedtorsion bar springs.They were of thé progressiveratetype with a relatively soft initial rate, gradually stiffening
as roll angle increased.
In an effort to further promotetireadhésion, thé brakediskswere moved inboard, necessitating half-shafts to connect thé disks
to thé wheel hubs at thé front.This construction was very similar to thé one seen on thé gas turbine-powered 4-wheel drive
Type 56 raced at Indianapolis and thé 4-wheeldriveType 63F1 machine.
Like in Type 56, Type 72hasa wedge-shapeddesign in which upperbody airflow is used to increasedownforce. To achieve
this designshape, thé frontradiators were relocated in thé middle, on eitherside of thé tub.Thisbrought thé added advantages
of concentratingweightcloser to thé center of thé carfor reducedmoment of inertia and shorterwaterpipes for reducedweight.
Introduced at thé secondrace of thé 1970season in Spain, Type 72 showedpoorhandiingcharacteristics. The teamthus
decided to hâve team ace JochenRindtrace in thé old Type 49C while seconddriverJohnMiles would raceType 72. Type
72B was promptly developedwith a rearsuspensiondevoid of anti-squat characteristics. It was followed by Type 72C which
further deletedanti-divecharacteristics from thé frontsuspension.
At thé wheel of Type72C,JochenRindtwent ontowinin Netherland, France,England and Germany,making it4 wins ina row.
Adding thé winin Monte-Carlo at thé wheel of Type49C,JochenRindtcollected a seasonbest of5 wins and45 points. Type
72C and JochenRindt also took 3 pôle positions,furtherproving theïr dominance.
Following Rindt' s untimelydeath inan accident during practice for thé Italtan GP, young Emerson Fittipaldi went ontowinhis
first Grand Prix in thé United States at thé wheel of Type72C.This concluded thé 1970seasonwithJochenRindt posthu-
mously clinching thé driver' s title and TeamLotustheir 4th constructor s title since1968.
