Lotus 2-Eleven Challenge Race ZhuHai China: Podium Dreams

I used the eXpansys.com Lotus 2-Eleven launch control during the standing start. You can see that I am dreaming of a Podium, Brolly Dollies and Champagne near the end of the race! This is my second ever race in a car. I am driving a Lotus 2-Eleven (this is the first one Lotus made) on slicks for the first time. Lotus had not developed the setup for slicks yet but I was talked in to giving it a try. This circuit is very hard on brakes and the combination of the slicks and me being too hard on the brakes resulted in overheating. This is the 8th round of the Lotus Challenge Asia at ZhuHai International Circuit in China September 17th, 2007

Were you racing in stock class? That old school white Europa was pulling away at an incredible speeed! :-O

[patricko111]

That Europa is new reproduction Type62 made in 2007, Nigel is also a very good driver. My 2-Eleven is stock. I was taking it easy for the first lap and I caught him at 2:50 seconds in, have a look it is good :-)

This video should be the setting standard for all track day video's online. Amazing footage. That car is amazing and your driving was very well and smooth. I guess better brake cooling next time?
