The Team Lotus Type 49B development debuted inside 3rd battle regarding the 1968 Formula One race season. It kept the DFV Cosworth engine as a stressed member, while incorporating downforce-improving revisions such as a front wing and wedge-shaped engine cowling. Through the sixth battle on, a distinctive high rear wing was added, which was attached right to the trunk uprights (other groups connected theirs towards engine block) so as to feed downforce straight back again to the suspension system. In Addition, ever-inventive group primary and designer Colin Chapman adorned the 49B in sponsor colors; it was simply the first time that were done in Formula One, and quickly set a trend which continues also in to the present day. That 12 months, the Type 49B would make driver Graham Hill and Lotus champions while the British team overcame the devastating losing mercurial motorist Jim Clark.
