One of the most ground breaking F1 cars of all time, the ground effect Lotus 79 had proved to be the class of the field in 1978. However, by 1979 it had been outclassed and it was a much more difficult season. The iconic black and gold JPS livery was also, gone replaced instead by the green livery with Martini stripes and additional sponsorship from Tissot watches. The USA West GP saw Mario Andretti score a fourth placed finish, just behind the two dominant Ferraris and the Williams of Alan Jones.

First, let me say that the open wheel slot cars are extremely light and DO NOT hold the track well. The interior space is so limited that there’s no room for extra magnets. Your driving style will have to be much less aggressive to keep this type of car on the track. That said, I love racing these cars! I like that running these open wheel cars takes skill. Much more challenging than going full tilt and relying on guard rails to keep you on the track. This car in particular, has excellent soft rubber tires. Scuffing the tires on fine sandpaper helps a lot! The detail is amazing and I’ve rolled it a few times with no damage. It’s probably not the best car for youngsters but for older children and adults, I highly recommend this one.
