One of my favorite cars, the Gold Leaf Team Lotus 49 at the 1968 German Grand Prix. Photo was taken on the first lap, Hill finished second to Jackie Stewart in an amazing race at the Nurburgring.

The Ford Cosworth DFV bolted onto the back of the aluminum monocoque right behind the driver. Since there was no chasis in the rear of the car, the high wing bolted directly on the suspension.

Graham Hill

Norman Graham Hill (15 February 1929 – 29 November 1975) was a British racing driver and team owner from England, who was twice Formula One World Champion. He is the only driver to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport — the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and Formula One World Championship.

Graham Hill and his son Damon are the only father and son pair both to have won the Formula One World Championship. Graham's grandson Josh, Damon's son, is also a racing driver.

Graham Hill died when the aeroplane he was piloting crashed in foggy conditions near Arkley golf course in North London. Hill and five members of his racing team were returning from car testing at Circuit Paul Ricard in France and due to land at Elstree Airfield. All six were killed.
