The Lotus 34 is an open-wheel race car built by Team Lotus for the 1964 Indianapolis 500 . Driven by Jim Clark , who qualified on pole, and Dan Gurney , tyre failure led to Clark retiring and Gurney being withdrawn.
Development history [ edit ]
The Lotus 34 was a very similar car to the 29. It differed principally in featuring a four-cam 4195 cc (255ci) DOHC Ford V8 with Hilborn fuel injection , producing 425 bhp (317 kW ), through a ZF gearbox .
Race history [ edit ]
At Indianapolis, Jim Clark qualified on pole , with Dan Gurney qualifying sixth.[2] Dunlop tyres failed during the race, leading to Clark crashing and Dan Gurney being withdrawn, much to Ford's displeasure.[3] Parnelli Jones won twice in a Lotus 43 at Milwaukee and Trenton.
In 1965 A.J. Foyt won three USAC races in a Lotus 34 on his way to second in that years championship, while Parnelli Jones finished second at Indianapolis behind Jim Clark 's Lotus 38 .[4]
