Lotus 49B No.1 4th German GP 1969 Graham Hill in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 49B No.1 4th German GP 1969 Graham Hill in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1969 German Grand Prix held on the demanding Nürburgring Nordschleife, Graham Hill brought his Lotus 49B No. 1 home in fourth place, scoring valuable World Championship points for Team Lotus. The Lotus 49B was powered by the revolutionary Ford-Cosworth DFV V8, a lightweight and powerful engine that had transformed Formula 1 in the late 1960s by being stressed as part of the chassis itself—a design that became standard across the sport. The race was unique for its sheer length and difficulty: the nearly 23-kilometre Nordschleife was one of the longest and most treacherous circuits in F1 history, demanding extreme focus and stamina from drivers as they navigated its dozen corners, massive elevation changes, and unforgiving surface. Despite not winning, Hill’s performance in such a brutal race underscored his skill and the competitiveness of the 49B during an era when reliability and courage were as crucial as outright speed.
