yes, the strut in the *** of cayman is inferior to the wishbones on the lotus.
you drive them both, you will see the difference right away.
now i just got to get my lotus to pick up another 1.5 seconds per lap, then i would match my cay s lap times.
tell james, he need to drive with NCRC and TM, not just HOD. they are too tame and slows his learning curve.

Also, what wheels (and size) are those? Did you like them on the track?

Which Lotus did you get? The SC'd one?
I'll tell James for sure... the group her ran with on the weekend was using split timers and kept resetting his timer! Bummer!

6,1 and 190 _should_ be ok. It's on the edge tho...

james has an XT timer, he didn't set it right. multiple beacons is ok, if he set it correctly, his reader will only pick up the beacon at start/stop.

Which side of the edge? Am I on the tall side for them?

if your waist is no bigger than 36" and your rear is "normal" sized for a 36" waist, you will fit perfectly.
