Спустя почти тридцать лет после гибели Ронни Петерсона в аварии на Гран-при Италии 1978 года, на родине гонщика, в Швеции, открылся музей его имени. В числе экспонатов легендарный Lotus 72/9, предоставленный музеем Classic Team Lotus, который сейчас возглавляет сын Колина Чэпмена, Клив.

Майкл Олсон, глава музея: "Эта машина тесно связана с карьерой Ронни, поэтому мы так хотели показать её в нашем музее".

Музей Ронни Петерсона открылся в прошлый уик-энд, если вы попадете в небольшой городок Эребру на западе от Стокгольма, то есть шанс увидеть экспозицию своими глазами. Для тех, кто не собирается в Швецию, есть весьма любопытный сайт музея:

Из интервью с Ники Лаудой:

Ronnie and his
wife Barbro lived below me and he was the
master because we were together at March. He
had this big Mercedes -  a V8 or something - 
and I remember very well driving to the March
factory in Bicester, and he was always braking
with his left foot. I said: "W hy are you doing
that?” and he said: “Because this is training.” I
was thinking, ‘What’s he training for?’ In those
days, you had a clutch and changed gear with the
left foot: the right was for the brake and throttle.
But he was so flexible that he could brake with
either foot, without even showing that he was
braking. That really impressed me at the time.

MH: Another downside to having Ronnie as a
team-mate must have been the way he would
think a bad car was okay because he could drive
around any problems. I’m thinking specifically
here of one car: the March 721X... the one with
the transverse gearbox. This was your first FI car
-  and it almost wrecked your career in 1972.
NL: Correct. I remember Ronnie was testing
this thing with the sideways gearbox for the first
time. He was the number-one driver -  I was the
schoolboy -  and he ran and ran and said the
car was good. Then I got in. I did two laps and
said: "This is the worst car I ’ve ever driven.”
Robin Herd was impressed by my words; he was
not happy but he was impressed. Ronnie didn’t
understand what I was talking about because he

was balls-out and couldn’t even tell how good
or how bad a car was. As it turned out, the car
really was a piece o f shit. A  total disaster.
