I guess it depends on your definition of "a few".
Ha ha, but yup I forgot it's been around a while before it made it over here.
As to the pedigree, the comment was made to jab you, how much research should I have done? As I said, I'd be genuinely interested in info to the contrary.
A google search reveals an Elise-only series in the UK, and an aborted attempt at the ALMS a few years back. Though that was in a prototype category, not the GT categories, so I suspect it had little in common with a production Elise. Not that it matters as it only made it 7 times around Sebring and doesn't appear to have shown up for any subsequent ALMS races that season.
Since they are marketed as this amazing track car for the street, I was curious as to their performance in SCCA racing, though I've not been able to discover any information about their performance in it (not that this means it doesn't exist).
