Lotus 49B No.2 Winner US GP 1969 Jochen Rindt in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 49B No.2 Winner US GP 1969 Jochen Rindt in 1:43 scale by Spark.
Jochen Rindt’s drive in the Lotus 49B No. 2 to victory at the 1969 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was a defining moment in his Formula 1 career — it was his first ever Grand Prix win, and the first by an Austrian driver in F1 history. Rindt, known for his fearless and aggressive driving style, also took pole position and fastest lap before leading every lap on race day, marking one of the few “hat‑tricks” (pole, win, fastest lap) of his career. The race itself was notable for being the penultimate round of the 1969 season and for the Lotus‑Ford Cosworth DFV‑powered 49B’s reliability finally shining through after a season of near‑misses. Rindt’s performance at Watkins Glen helped cement his reputation as one of the era’s most exciting talents and foreshadowed his historic — and tragically short — rise to becoming Formula 1’s only posthumous World Champion the following year.
