Lotus Exige chasing Ariel Atom at Pacific Grand Prix

Lotus Exige chasing Ariel Atom at Pacific Grand Prix

Another long rambling session with a passenger. You probably don't want to watch this unless you are the passenger. :)

Long rambling track session with a passenger ... you probably don't want to watch this unless you are Aaron. :)

Same Exige S, now with Hoosier R6 tires.

I was hoping (rather optimistically) that the slicks might improve my lap times by 2 seconds. Sure enough...

Once again they managed to get my actual lap times: 1:13.7, 1:13.7, 1:13.6.

They gave me a different transponder for this race, so my actual lap times were recorded: 1:14.4, 1:15.0, 1:14.5.

The transponder they gave me was broken so they recorded a bogus 1:21 best-lap for me. Actual lap times: 1:13.7, 1:13.8, 1:13.8.

The transponder they gave me was broken so the times they recorded were bogus ... as a result I got put at the back of the starting grid for all 3 ...

Finally broke the 1:15 mark ... 1:13.47 and 1:13.63 in this session.

Car: 2007 Lotus Exige S with Toyo R888 tires, no mods. The R888s are good but...

That'll warm up the tires! Er...

One very wet session in the Exige at Pacific Grand Prix, 2009-10-14

I think that's Carl in the passenger seat. Not quite as fast this time, but there are one or two 1:15s in there.

Mostly 1:15 laps, pretty quick for me. The gap in the middle is where I caught up to another driver and re-entered the track with better spacing.

It's ugly and ragged, but the clock says it's my fastest, 1:15.13. Still 4+ seconds slower than Jared!

Driving the Exige around Pacific Grand Prix, this time clockwise for a change. Usually we drive counter-clockwise.

Late in the afternoon of July 7, 2009, our first sports car track day at Pacific Grand Prix, we ran one all-Lotus session. The blue Elise is stock ...
