Team Lotus brought a number of innovations to F1 racing and they introduced the Type 78 in 1977. It featured a slim monocoque chassis with wide side pontoons which had venturi profiles to generate downforce for faster cornering speeds. During the 1977 season, Mario Andretti drove the car to victory at the U.S. West, Spanish, French, and Italian GPs and teammate Gunner Nilsson claimed his first win at the Belgium GP to demonstrate the performance potential of this innovative machine. The following season saw the introduction of the further evolved Type 79 and M. Andretti drove it to claim the drivers' championship and helped the team claim the constructors' title.
