Thumbs up Sebring

Great pics. It is really sharp with that stripe. I had seen your Exige at FLL Collection and at Ferrari FLL BBQ (with Fred the chef). At the time I was not a lotus owner, but changed that on Saturday with an 08 S240.

I'm heading to Sebring on Jan 3 with the Exige and am really looking forward to it. Any advice for a new lotus owner with about 10 days of track experience in other cars?

A048s? 30 lbs hot pressure.

Full tank helps with any fuel starvation issues.

One thing I was going to ask - is Sebring really as bumpy as Forza 3 makes out on the last corner off the long straight?

After being out of the saddle for a year (sold my Exige) I am taking delivery of a S260 next week. Will be shooting for some track time soon so hope to see you all at Sebring, PBIR or Homestead.

The last straight into 17 is incredible, full on into the the breaking zone, Ive been between 120 to 155 barreling towards that wall, take the turn in tight close to the corner workers station, Im usually 1/3 way inside because the bumps can bounce you around and anything farther out is all marbles and no grip. It feels like a double apex with a decreasing radius but a really cool track out into the straight. Hope that made sense and helped.
