The artwork depicts Gurney sitting in Lotus 29/1 deep in thought while consulting with Team Lotus founder Colin Chapman and his friend and rival Clark. Gurney was instrumental in persuading Chapman to tackle the fabled Indianapolis Motor Speedway.Lotus entered a pair of Lotus 29s for Clark and Gurney in ’63 – white and blue #93 for Gurney, green and yellow #92 for Clark. Despite lacking the oval racing experience – and horsepower – of their front-engined roadster-mounted rivals, the pair started fifth and 12th and finished second and seventh that year.Ford donated Gurney’s white and blue Lotus 29/1 to the IMS Museum in 1973, and the Museum has embarked on a $90k restoration of the machine to full running condition.

1967 Canadian GP, Mosport: At the start, Jim Clark, Lotus, leads teammate Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart (Tyrrell-Matra) and Dan Gurney (Eagle-Weslake) Photo by: Sutton Images In racing, the success or failure of participants is determined purely by results – but you’ll have noticed that’s never enough for the rest of us. After a race, much of the sport’s allure, intrigue and enchantment (or any other bottled fragrance) is provided by speculation over what might have been. Yes, we anticipate the next episode, but we’re equally intrigued by dissecting the last, and theorizing over how it might have turned out differently.Within minutes of the checkered flag, there are drivers, team managers, sponsors, journalists and fans giving vent to their opinions. ‘If Team X had changed its driver from wets to slicks one lap sooner in qualifying, he’d have taken pole, and probably the win,’ or, ‘If we’d used the same tire strategy as Team Y, … [Read more...] about Clark, Amon, and the speculation that rules motorsport history

Romain Grosjean will follow in esteemed footsteps when he makes the switch to U.S. open-wheel racing this season, the well-trodden path from Formula 1 most recently traversed by Marcus Ericsson. But who is the greatest F1-to-Indy convert? Drivers must first have competed in F1 to be eligible for our list, which rules out 1993 McLaren driver Michael Andretti and his 1978 world champion father Mario. The 1988 series champion and 1985 Indianapolis 500 winner Danny Sullivan is also ineligible, his Indy car debut in 1982 coming one year before his single F1 season at Tyrrell, while Juan Pablo Montoya and Sebastien Bourdais each won Indy car titles before moving to F1 and subsequently returning Stateside. When considering the order of the list, F1 achievement isn't factored in - it's purely down to how successfully the driver made the transition to Indy car. Making an instant impression is rewarded, and so too is longevity. On that basis, despite Fernando Alonso’s impressive debut in … [Read more...] about Top 10 F1 to Indy car converts ranked
