Artifact Overview
Even before Jim Clark's groundbreaking 1965 win in a rear-engine Lotus-Ford, the rear-engine layout gained favor at the Indianapolis 500. A.J. Foyt, who'd won the 1964 race with a traditional front-engine car, switched to a rear-engine Lotus-Ford for 1965. Foyt qualified that year with a new record of 161.958 miles per hour, but he suffered a broken gearbox during the race.
