Lotus Mk.18 F-1
Charles McCabe of San Francisco, CA,
drives the 2500cc. ex-Jim
Hall Lotus Mk.18-Climax through Turn 2. He
finished 13th.

with a F1 Lotus for the 1960 USGP at Riverside, Hall famously bought a
Cooper Monaco, extracted the 2.5 Climax engine, and placed it in a Lotus
Mk.18 F-II car. On his way to a 5th
place finish, a rear axle broke on the last lap and he limped home
7th.
