Andretti, who would go on to secure the 1978 World Championship, dominated the race with superior cornering speed that left rivals struggling to keep pace. What made this race unique was how clearly the Lotus 79 demonstrated its technical superiority—marking one of the earliest times ground-effect technology proved utterly unbeatable on a Grand Prix circuit.This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for the most authentic replication.
