Good Details
The centenary of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” - the Indianapolis 500 - is a 2011 Festival highlight with a stunning gathering of Indy cars and drivers due to appear at Goodwood in July. Illustrating this Indy 500 focus, Peter Hearsey has painted the striking wedged 1968 Lotus Type 56 of Joe Leonard rounding the first right-hand bend on the challenging Festival of Speed hillclimb. The innovative turbine Lotus 56 Indy car used four wheel drive to get the most out of the 500 bhp Pratt and Whitney gas turbine engine.
