There was lightning in the air in 1986. Usain Bolt was born. Mike Tyson took just two rounds to become the youngest ever Heavyweight World Champion and the first F1 Turbo era reached its peak. The ’86 cars remain the most powerful ever to race. Horsepower was unlimited, you could run as much as you could wring out of 1.5 litres. With special qualifying engines and gearboxes that could only last 3-4 minutes at full boost, this was drag racing with corners.
The 98T represents the coming together of two F1 icons, the alignment of two passing stars in the racing firmament – Ayrton Senna and the JPS Lotus. Senna’s star was in rapid ascent at this point and Team Lotus were at the tail-end of their glory days – still genuine contenders but struggling to fill the almighty void left by Chapman’s sudden death in December 1982. It was a void only Grand Prix wins could even begin to fill.
