COLIN CHAPMAN introduced European Formula One technology to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the early 1960s and almost won the Indianapolis 500 on his first attempt. Inspired while a spectator at the 1962 race, Chapman returned in 1963 with light-weight, rear-engine Lotus cars powered by Ford engines; he placed second with Scotland\u2019s World Champion-to-be, Jim Clark. This combination snared the pole position a year later. In 1965, they led 190 of 200 laps to score the first Indianapolis 500 win by a rear-engine car. Chapman\u2019s influence was far-reaching. In addition to numerous class wins in the 24-Hours of Le Mans, Team Lotus drivers won no less than 74 World Championship Grand Prix races; six world titles, with Clark (1963 and 1965), Graham Hill (1968), Jochen Rindt (1970), Emerson Fittipaldi (1972), and Mario Andretti (1978); and the constructor\u2019s title seven times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9014,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nColin Chapman - IMS Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/devsite.techchart.io\/imsmuseumfame_inductee\/colin-chapman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Colin Chapman - IMS Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"COLIN CHAPMAN introduced European Formula One technology to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the early 1960s and almost won the Indianapolis 500 on his first attempt.
