Nissan GTR vs Lotus Exige S1

--- Update about iPhone Lap Timer ---
On this video I use CMS Laptimer, a free iPhone app, in my opinion the best free one.

But now I use Harry's Lap Timer Pro. It has a cost, but much more powerful.

One of the early sessions in Montmélo, on the 31st October 2011.
We were still discovering the track, hence pretty slow laps on this video.
Having fun with a mighty Nissan GTR of unknown specs I have to say.
But boy, it goes... The acceleration is massive. My healthy Duratec Exige S1, cannot fight in the straight. I topped 235 (around) on the speedo, where the GTR was over 260 !!!
The car was really impressive and could turn as well, surprisingly well. I was able to get back though.
Real trouble on that day for the GTR was heat, with tires and gearbox heating up too fast, from what I understood.
My Exige stood up pretty well, so I am happy.
Circuit de Catalunya is the fastest track I ever drove on, even a little faster in the straight than SPA !

Oui c'est une auto assez dingue. La mise en vitesse est incroyable. Je vais bientôt en essayer une, je suis curieux de voir ce que ça donne coté sensations. Niveau freins, je suis tombé sur un mauvais jeu de disques Elise Parts... Je vais les balancer.

GTR is slow in the corners. He could have done better than that.

Quel mastodonte cette GTR, c'est impressionnant qu'une telle masse puisse se déplacer aussi vite. Elle est vraiment le contraire de l'Exige dans sa conception. Quelle combinaison de plaquettes/disques as-tu?
