Sadly, no GP revolutionary innovation and domination for a long while. But, we are still living the Lotus legacy that gave us the fundamental architecture of building the world's fastest cars. While they've haven't had a place in GP in a long while, they are still one of the successful GP marques, and loads of Lotus cars have been winning lots of things for decades. The Elan, for example, is the most successful car in SCCA Solo II history.
They are fun to drive but just aren't competitive anymore.
Opps, just found where Tyler McQuarrie won his class at Long Beach:
"The GTS win was the first time a Lotus had won a race of any kind at Long Beach since Mario Andretti won the 1977 Formula One event in a John Player Lotus."
Now if they can just win there second race in 33 years!
@TheTruthMessenger1 Oh boy, you're here too? Same old rant (maybe a word or 2 different) as in 3 or 4 other Lotus videos. Have you been nominated for doosh-bag of the year? Are the porn sites overloaded? Are there no other sites that need a jack-off troll?
It's a Celica Engine with a "special tune." The Honda K-20 was the better engine, but Toyota gave 'em a better deal by agreeing to cover all warranty claims on the engines.
Love my Lotus Elise... I'll keep it for life....

Will a robotic assembly line leave a wrench in your dash?? You only get that kind detail from a hand built car!

Has Lotus won a race in the last 30 years?
