In 1977, Lotus introduced the kind 78 (base model for the Type 79) which had a slim monocoque chassis and wide side pontoons with under areas like inverted aircraft wings. Airfow beneath the part pontoons thus enabled the body to generate downforce for stronger traction and quicker cornering speeds. Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson drove the car into the 1977 period, and despite very early period troubles, they proceeded to just take 4 and 1 wins correspondingly to show the car&39;s potential.
