Ross' Lotus Europa

Ok so what am I doing at the track in my Lotus Europa and not Gt40.
Well firstly it is a Lotus club track day and 2nd, they only allow noise levels at 75db. Pretty hard for the GT40 to keep the noise down to that level. So here is my rational. The Europa has the same driveline layout as the 40 and I'm hoping to be able to use it as a guide for driving the 40 better. The handling is a bit too sloppy at the moment but I can feel similarities in the handling of the 2 cars. I forced the cable shifter a bit too hard on Saturday and broke it, but luckily was able to repair. Lap times are 20 secs slower than the 40 but am hoping to get Europa down by another 10 secs.I'll pass on more
info as I improve the handling.
Ross
