AutoWeek Radio interviews Christian Overland about the Ford Lotus

Listen as Christian Overland talks with Dale Jewett of AutoWeek Radio about the unveiling of the newly restored Lotus Ford Indy car.

The 1965 winner of the Indianapolis 500, the Lotus Ford changed the racing paradigm at the Brickyard. It was the first rear-engine car to win at Indy and the first to clock a 150 mph lap time. Learn about the interesting history of this racecar, as Overland describes how Dan Gurney conceived the idea of incorporating Formula One technology with Ford Motor Company engineering prowess to assemble a unique team that included Colin Chapman of Lotus, the Wood Brothers, driver Jimmy Clark and a team of Ford engineers.
