Lotus 49B No.3 2nd German GP 1968 Graham Hill in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 49B No.3 2nd German GP 1968 Graham Hill in 1:43 scale by Spark.
British racing legend Graham Hill took the Lotus 49B No. 3 to a strong second‑place finish at the 1968 German Grand Prix held on the fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife on 4 August 1968. The race, contested in extremely wet and foggy conditions, was won by Jackie Stewart in a Matra, but Hill’s drive was impressive as he brought the Lotus home well ahead of most of the field, earning valuable championship points for both himself and Team Lotus. Hill was midway through his second and final World Championship title campaign that year, taking over team leadership after the tragic death of Jim Clark earlier in the season and helping Lotus keep competitive on one of the toughest circuits in motorsport. The combination of the Lotus 49B’s innovative Cosworth DFV V8 powerplant and Hill’s seasoned skill made this race one of the defining drives of his 1968 season.
