[edit] merge with Lotus 49
Agree Only logical step, since there is no version powered by anything other than a Cosworth (were these entered as Lotus-Cosworths or Lotus-Fords, by the way? If the latter then the article title is wrong anyway). As a general point I think it is probably best not to include the engine name in a racing car article title, since in some cases versions powered by different engines exist and I think it unlikely that you would want separate articles for each version. Such articles would be largely taken up in repetition, or would be very short. 4u1e
To clarify the above statement, it has been suggested that Lotus-Cosworth 49 be merged with this article. Seems the logical course to me. 4u1e 17:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Racing car template
I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way. Cheers. 4u1e 09:37, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
