I'm flattered that they'd include one of my early runs at H2R as a video. Looking at the line I was driving CCW around the track is embarrassing.

I was out there last weekend and ran 1:36 lap times in my 99 Miata, both CW and CCW. There is likely 3-4 more seconds to be gained with a little coaching. In the Lotus (i.e. about 100 hp more power) I'm sure I could drop that time by 3-4 seconds.

Of course the master of driving H2R in a Lotus is Prof. Chili. He can lay down some seriously fast laps times. If you want to see how to run H2R, check out his videos and ignore mine.

If you own a Lotus Elise or Exige you owe it to yourself and your car to drive this track at least once. It is seriously that much fun. The track is relatively easy to learn, but hard to master.
