Formula 1 and Indy Cars at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

This is the Ferrari that John Surtees drove to win the F1 championship in 1964! He finished 1 point ahead of Graham Hill (two time F1 champ,) and Jim Clark (two time F1 champ) was third. Surtees had some DNFs, but in every other race that year he won 2 and was on the podium for the others. This car had direct injection, 248hp, and weighed 984 pounds. 

The Barber Museum features hundreds of motorcycles, and it also has some cars. One area had a huge collection of Lotus road cars and Formula 1 cars, dating back to the early 1950s. Another special exhibit featured John Surtees, who is still the only racer to have won world championships on both motorcycles and in Formula 1. In this area was another cool Indy Lotus that was driven by American Dan Gurney. 

1963 Lotus Type 29/2 Indy Car bult for Dan Gurney. When Lotus came to Indy with the engines behind drivers Gurney and Jim Clark, they showed the future for all Indy Cars. Gurney didn't win at Indy, but Clark won in 1965. This car raced at Indy for 4 years. The Ford V8 engine had 400hp, and could go over 200mph. 

1978 Team Surtees TS20 F1 car chassis #3. No longer driving, John Surtees ran his own F1 team, although 1978 was their last season.  

1969 Lotus Type 63. This car had four wheel drive, but this experiment didn't work very well, as only two of them were produced. 

1980 Lotus Type 81. Mario Andretti drove this car most of the F1 season, and finished in the points in 6th place at Watkins Glen. 

In the classic John Player Special livery, a 1984 Lotus Type 95 T. This car used a Renault V6 turbo engine, and the team drivers were Elio DeAngelis and Nigel Mansell. The car could run 1,100+hp for qualifying, but to meet the race fuel limits was detuned to "only" 750hp. After the season the drivers were allowed to buy their car, and this one retains the original F1 engine. 

1989 Lotus 101. This car was driven by former world champion Nelson Piquet, and used the new Judd V8 engine to score points but not get on any podiums. 

Judd engine with carbon fiber intakes. Unfortunately, there were NO live demonstrations of the engine firing up!

1991 Lotus Type 102B. For 91 Lotus returned to a Judd engine instead of the previous season's Lamborghini power. Early in his career, Mika Hakkinen drove this car to as high as 5th place. He later became a two time champion with McLaren.  

1992 Lotus Type 102D. This car was mostly driven by Johnny Herbert, who later was a broadcaster for Formula 1.
