But he DID get in the passenger side. The footage of him riding with the skinny driver was hysterical.

Sorry about that. When I posted I hadn't seen the whole video. fastliz was commenting on my deleted post where I said big boy never got is left foot in the pedal box.

I bet him in the passenger's seat really gave some grip on those right hand curves.

A lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Lotus Elise. The car is powered by a 220 hp Honda Civic-Type-R engine.



A full lap incl. the enormous Döttinger Höhe straight. The track was not entirely dry in places, so I took it easy. "Bridge to gantry" time is approx. 8:14 (8:42 whole lap).

Peter

@Mark_A: great footage! Thanks!

Park Avenue Lotus in Maywood New Jersey, (that’s where I bought my car), has a new website with a great Elise video on it. The video even has Bruce Lee in it, which makes it even cooler!

The Video:http://www.parkavelotus.com/dsp_video.cfm
You can also click the link underneath the video to ge the large non-web page version.

(I don't know how to make that gray box thing)

This video makes me slightly embarrassed. Ugh, horrible glory rock makes it so cheesy. The shots are ok. Not easy to pull off with little money. And the Bruce Lee is pretty silly.

Park Avenue is lucky they haven't been sued. You can't just take Bruce Lee footage. I know the guys who produced it on spec knew that. They

I was there when most of that footage was taken. It was at a Lotus track day in MI.

Me too. That was at Grattan. They took a bunch of footage, including some of me passing all of the Fed cars. That lowly Rover motor really sucks!

I know the torrent to the Exige S Top Gear episode has been posted already, but for those of us with *very* limited HD space, here's a link to the Exige S segment! WOW




And here's another cool video:

Road Atlanta Track Day: 05/20/06

Infield Shots:


Turn 6 spin:


C6 Z06 Comparison



Last one...I had to push really hard on this lap. The cone I hit at the end is usually about 3ft to the left and the damn thing kept making me change my line under the bridge. I did not mean to hit it but somebody had to move it!

Try the links in post #263 again. For some reason copy/paste didn't work right.

Nice Driving!!! Way to keep momentum - I see your using all the road upon corner exit.
