- 6 years ago
Representing a brief but memorable moment among 99 previous Indianapolis 500 races leading into the 2016 Indy 500, the 1968 STP Lotus 56 turbine car was one of the vehicles featured in the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow's tribute to the race.
The Lotus 56 gasoline turbine Indy car was used in the second and final attempt by Andy Granatelli to win with a jet-inspired powertrain. In the 1968 Indianapollis 500, the #20 car was driven by Art Pollard part of a three-car team fielded by STP's Andy Granatelli. Joe Leonard and Graham Hill piloted the over two STP Lotus turbine cars. Pollard finished in 13th place in the 1968 race. Videos and photos captured by Chris Nagy. Created with Corel VideoStudio.
