kestral is pushing the height limit for the rollbar from what i see in the picture............, but I cannot believe that ANY club would let the second guy out on track in the black helmet.
he is way too tall for the rollover protection in the Elise................ Am I missing something, or is that just plain scary? maybe the track group doesnt notice or care, just anything for a buck, as long as you sign the liability release. I would suggest others look at this picture and make sure that they are not in the same situation. Safety first as far as issues like this, then drive it like you stole it.

Doesn't look like you're lifting either tire?

The front driver is definitely off... I've been told even by bystanders that I tend to lift a tyre or two there.... cheers
From the comment below (from dragon): It's just the perspective, the tyre is not off the edge of the track there, promise you. If I go off the inside with that tyre I end up scrubbing on the next corner and feel it all the way up the straight...

Looks like the front tire is firmly on terra firma whilst cruising on the white line. The edge of it is off because it's off the pavement. Either way, cool shot! Now you have a reason to try a little harder. "Gotta get that tire off the ground!"
