All Lotus Race

The track is Bathust and it's way down under in Australia. That series is now gone so much I know. My friends company Race and Prestige( an all Lotus Shop in Melbourne) use to co- sponsor the series.

I've been to Oz 2 times and I've seen Bathust. It is one sick track.

Great Video thanks for that

That driver seem to have all it takes. Impressive driving passing the whole field in a spec series!

Here' s another video from the series: Lotus Trophy Simmonds Plains Race

And here's some info from the guy who made that video:

"The Lotus series is called the Lotus Trophy (www.lotustrophy.com.au) here in Australia and is one of the support catergories for our premier category over here - V8 Supercars. As a result we get to race on some great circuits (like Bathurst & Phillip Island) in front of some big crowds. We have 2 classes, class B are Lotus Elises (which I ran as a rookie last year) and class A run Lotus Exiges with much more power and a roof. We have 3 races over the weekend the 2nd of which is a reverse grid which is why you will see the Exiges flying past on the straights in some the videos. The racing is great and I really enjoyed my first year at it."

Note that they reverse the grid, which places the faster Exige at the rear which might explain how the guy in the first video posted was carving through the field.

That's awesome! Those cars handle like their on rails, a "Euro-Miata" as I refer to them as .

What is up with that yellow car that crashes? Goes off in the first turn, almost hits a guy when he overcorrects, and the pinches down.
