Not bad eh! This is a video of the "Lotus Trophy Series" here in Australia. The track is Mount Panorama, Bathurst. The cars are all identical Lotus Elises.
The driver, Dean Evans, is a Motor Magazine editor. Motor have had the Elise on a long term test, and Dean has been running it in selected rallies and race meets.
He sure did clean the field up on that first lap.
Motor magazine are soon going to do an article on the Elise conversions that my brother and i are doing. We put a Honda Integra (Acura) Trye R (2.0 litres) and a Jackson supercharger, into the Elise. Without touching the engine, we are producing 280hp or 300hp depending on the s/c pulley the customer wants. Let me tell you, this transforms the Lotus Elise into a real WEAPON. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
