Chasing fast "Easter Egg" at ORP on saturday..
Hey, a Lotus Exige in bright blue kind of looks like an easter egg!
This is just the second time at ORP for me, the first with the GT3. It was a little cold (around 45 degrees) but the weather was dry and the sun was out, so can't complain. Looking at the video, I have a lot of "skoolin' " to do at ORP, I'm turning in way early especially at 7, and some coasting that is just confidence in the position of the car over crests. But what a hoot! Looking forward to next time!

HA! What track isn't??
Just as a reference my '08 M3 did a 2:08- first time on the track, the GT3 is 1:59- about 500 lbs different. However, my buddy who has tracked here more than the two times I have is doing around 2:00 with a E92 M3 on slicks, but mostly stock suspension and brakes.
So, the nut behind the wheel is worth a lot! The Exige in the video, while light, is well driven and certainly worth as much as his Lotus' "lightness"!
