Introducing the AFX Limited Edition - 1985 Lotus 97T(This car came in the Ayrton Senna Set 22112)
1985 Lotus 97T
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 black and gold Lotus 97T, designed by Gérard Ducarouge.
Senna’s first race in the car was at the Monza Grand Prix which is one of the most epic circuits in motorsport. He finished impressively, on the podium in 3rd place. The USA track in Detroit saw Senna take his 6th pole position in six races and start what would become an F1 tradition by waving the Brazilian flag during his victory lap. Then, at the Portuguese Grand Prix, despite monsoon conditions, Senna won by over a minute, lapping almost every other driver. His performance at that track in the 97T is remembered as one of Senna’s finest.
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.
