Brits who made the modern world
Apologies if this has already been mentioned but there is an interesting looking program on this Friday, Channel 5 at 19:30. This weeks one is about
Colin Chapman and Lotus.
Documentary series looking at the untold stories of British scientists and engineers who developed some of the modern world's most incredible
technology. Peter Snow finds out how Britain's successful Formula One industry has its origins in a remarkable amateur racing club and a
visionary group of motor enthusiasts. He meets the surviving members of the Lotus Engineering team whose revolutionary car, the Lotus 25, changed the
sport forever
If by: 'remarkable amature racing club' that they mean a club Chapman cut his teeth in then I guess that would be the 750mc. Not heard
anything mentioned about it elsewhere though.
