First of all I must say an immense "thank you!" to the owner and driver of this 97T, Fredy Kumschick, and all his team for being so kind and available for everything basically during the day. A further thanks to my big friends Davide458Italia and Italiansupercarvideo who helped me as usual with the track-side recordings and to Reiza Studios guys who enabled me to get a better on-board audio.
Yesterday, 25th anniversary of Senna's death, I was at Imola Circuit for the Ayrton Day, organized by the same people behind Historic Minardi Day, where I had the big chance of doing a proper video of a 1985 Lotus 97T Renault. I saw this same Lotus 5 years ago during the 20th anniversary where Fredy used it for the first time after 28 years and it is chassis number 97T-4, used by Ayrton Senna himself during the season. The car is moved by a Renault-Gordini EF1 1.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine which was able to produce approximately 800 hp (and probably even more in qualifying trim).
Basically it's almost 34 years since the last time chassis 4 hit a dry track so for just 4 demo laps, engine was set to run under 2 bars of boost (no more than 600hp) and an early rev limiter at 10,400 rpms but still enough to apppreciate the beautiful sound of a Turbo Era monster. Enjoy it in action again on track!
