Model Factory Hiro B-48 Joe Honda Racing Pictorial Series No.48 - Grand Prix 1972 Part.1

The issue No. 48 of the "Racing Pictorial Series by HIRO" will be featuring 1972 Grand Prix, the year which the ace driver Emerson Fittipaldi dominated the trophy stand, and his Team Lotus started the second year which they changed the team colour to the brilliant black and gold.

Emerson turned 25 when he finished the Grand Prix in the previous year with a not so satisfactory result. Then he became the youngest champion of 1972 at that time, when he changed to drive the new 72D (improved from the prior type 72).
This issue will be the Part One of the 1972 season. Teams like Lotus, McLaren, Surtees, BRM, Matra, Techno will be included in this issue, in order to review the whole season. The champion machine Lotus 72, we will choose unpublished photos as many as possible, as the machine already featured in a separated issue.
For photos of other teams and machines will be all unpublished pictures, and the monochrome pictures will be presented in tremendous amount of details. This will be one of the best issues in terms of information. Especially the photos of McLaren, Matra and Techno will be precious.
1972 was to be recognized as the starting year of JPS. Although the revolutionary colouring of the black-gold Lotus 72D was being named "the flying coffin", it become one of the hall of fame machine because of the great performance of not only the machine, and also the talented driver Emerson Fittipaldi.

Please enjoy the photos from Joe Honda, to say goodbye to the '60s, 1972, a revolutionary year to the new era.
