Note that some cars were converted to a later specification: such as a Lotus 87 being converted to Lotus 92 specification. In such cases, the results will be grouped under the original Type of the car. So in the example of the Lotus 87, any starts for that car while in Lotus 92 specification will be allocated to the Lotus 87 range.
