May I ask what suspension you are running? Great Job! Do you have a charge cooler? Great racing-love the track.

[M111HPE]

My car is powered by a naturally aspirated Honda K20 so no charge cooler fitted.

Car is fitted with Nitron dampers and Eibach springs made to Hofmann's custom specification but they are availabe to anyone and will transform any Elise/Exige! Call Chris Randall on +44 1491 848800 for more info and tell him you saw this video/comment on YouTube!

Cheers

Your not wrong, there was certainly lots of blocking! My Elise was certainly better in the fast corners like Hawthorns but the 2-11 with its launch and traction control systems is better at the start and on corner exit. Thanks for the comment and supporting the Elise Trophy series. :)

you were giving up so much time at westfield bend just to try and intimidate the cars infront where as in reality you could have got much better runs into dingle dell! wicked footage though, im a big fan of this championship

Interesting comment, will re-watch the race and look out for this but not supprised if I'm making rookie errors due to my lack ot race experience. Thanks for the continued support. :)

haha it was just the first few laps you did it. Having half looks in fast corners like westfield bend just loses you loads of momentum through the next part of the track. Your apex speed was pretty awesome every where else so use it to good effect! That car buzz's like a bee.... :)

[M111HPE]

Good feedback thanks. My car is very good in fast corners like Hawthorns but I see what you mean about sacrificing speed after Westfield.

Very nice, but is it just me or is there a lot of blocking that seems to go on? the Elise seems to get better traction and drive into corners and the 211 seems to have better out of corner grip and acceleration. The Elise seems to have better straight speed as well.
