High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Lotus 22 was a racing car built by Lotus cars in 1962 and a total of 77 cars were built. It was developed from the 1962 Lotus 20, with the major differences that it had disk brakes all round, had a top link to the rear suspension, and had a dry sump engine that was canted over to lower the centre of gravity. The 22 is a single seat race car primarily for the Formula Junior series and most had a 1098 cc Cosworth MAE engine with about 100 hp (70 kW). However, 7 of the Lotus 22's built were sold with the then newly introduced 1500 cc Lotus Twin-Cam engine then powering the just introduced Lotus Elan sports car, but these were ineligible for Formula Junior. The 22 was very successful and the works car driven by Peter Arundell won nearly 75% of the races for the FIA Formula Junior European championship in 1962. The car was also successful in 1963, the final year of FJr, and up against the new Lotus 27, a full monocoque car, the 22 won several races early in the season before the stiffness problems that plagued the 27 were solved.
