Lotus 99T 1987 Ylw/Blu
Travel back in time to the late 80s and relive the glory of one of Formula
One’s most iconic cars, the Lotus 99T. This AFX Limited Edition is
officially licensed by Senna Brands and Classic Lotus Team. Its real life
counterpart was a true legend, much like its driver, Ayrton Senna.
In the pantheon of motorsport, few names resonate with the same electric
intensity as Ayrton Senna. Fiercely competitive and relentless in his
pursuit of perfection, Senna built a legacy as one of the greatest drivers
in the history of the sport.
His move to Team Lotus in 1985 brought about a golden era of racing.
Ultimately his race victories included 41 Grand Prix wins, 65 pole
positions, and 19 fastest laps. Some of Senna’s most memorable performances
were in the innovative yellow and blue Lotus 99T.
Senna’s first win at Monaco was with that car. There he earned the title,
‘King of Monaco’, and would go on to win 6 times, 8 podiums and 5 poles
over just 10 races. Later in his career Senna would perform the finest
qualifying lap in the history of the sport at that same track, though with
a different vehicle.
Senna’s technical prowess was also something to be admired. He was lauded
by engineers who claimed his insight into his car’s performance to be
remarkably specific and instrumental in the evolution of F1. In ’87, Senna
took the helm of the Lotus 99T, touting an advanced active suspension
system that optimized handling and performance.
His continued triumphs said it all; Senna had become a legend. His
insatiable perfectionism and daring spirit defined an entire generation of
F1. To this day, Ayrton Senna is considered across the world to be one of
the most iconic Formula 1 drivers to have ever lived.
Charge through the tracks to channel your inner Senna skills with the AFX
Limited Edition Lotus 99T.
