The Lotus 72D raced in the Formula One World Championship in the first half 1971, 1972, and the opening rounds of 1973 to succeed the 1970 Lotus 72, which the 72D would be succeeded by the 72E mid-1973. It was designed by the great Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillipe, and it was iconic for being a wedge instead of the traditional flat nose that all its opponents would run. It debuted an iconic type of product sponsor, which such companies would come to F1 and would essentially take over the sponsoring world. The naturally-aspirated Ford-Cosworth DFV 3.0L V8 would go on to take 5 of 12 race wins that year, and would grant Emerson Fittipaldi his first world title at 25, a record that stood undeterred until 2005 when Fernando Alonso won the title at 24, beating him by 235 days.
All credits to myself, can use with credit but it probably won't be used anyways. Shelf Item art style is...probably a weird concept. The best way I can explain my own style is focusing on the bare minimum of the vehicle shape and working on liveries after, suspension parts and other car parts are put in blandly and detailed later. Its decent...like something on a shelf Again, I'm not sure Scratch would like the primary sponsor here. So it's replaced.
