Designer Gerry Judah has created this white knotted sculpture of a race track for car brand Lotus at Goodwood Festival of Speed, which took place in West Sussex.
The structure features six historic Lotus Formula 1 cars secured onto 150 metres of winding road.
The hollow, 60-tonne sculpture is made from sheets of steel that have been joined at the edges to create triangular sections, which are self-supporting and require no internal frame.
This construction technique was used in tribute to Lotus founder and designer Colin Chapman (1928-1982) who introduced the monocoque chassis to automobile racing, enabling the chassis and body of a car to be made in one piece.
El artista Gerry Judah ha creado esta escultura anudada de una pista de carreras para la marca Lotus en el Festival de la velocidad de Goodwood, en West Sussex.
La estructura presenta seis Formula 1 historicos de Lotus asegurados a 150 metros de la sinuosa carretera.
Las 60 toneladas de escultura estan construidas con laminas de acero creando secciones triangulares autoportantes sin necesidad de subestructuras internas. Esta tecnica de construccion ha sido usada como homenaje al fundador y diseñador de Lotus, Colin Chapman (1928-1982), quien introdujo el chasis monocasco en las carreras de automovilismo, facilitando que el chasis y el cuerpo de un coche sean de una pieza.
The sculpture itself is six historic Lotus Formula 1: the Lotus 32B (Jim Clark 1965), Lotus 49B (Graham Hill 1968), Lotus 72E (Emerson Fittipaldi 1973), Lotus 79 (Mario Andretti 1978), Lotus 99T (Ayrton Senna 1987) and the latest Lotus F1 Team challenger.
