Nice videos! Spa is one of my favorite tracks, wish I could drive it some day. Generally I prefer no music soundtrack in track videos, but trance is cool too. 
What kind of Elise do you have?

Elise Videos Spa Francorchamps
I'm not sure whether this belongs here or to the "sticky" thread "Video Links" in "News und Rumours". Anyway, these two clips show some Elise fun I had in Spa Francorchamps.

@Vantage: it's a 2002 Standard Elise Mk.II with sports exhaust...
... kidding. The engine is a 2l Honda-Civic-Type-R which is a delight to drive.

That was the Seven Mania day right? I was there too, together with Cai Cederholm in the black/dark blue S1 and with Mark Donalds in the silver motorsport Exige
Your car was very fast and looked superb :up: I'm not sure whether I'm having a brain-fade here, but weren't you the elise with sideskirts?

Is this what we in the US would call track days?
Much more aggresive driving allowed in this video!

Dan you are right, the footage is from a trackday (they're called the same over here ). But track driving behaviour differs from event to event.
A trackday with Seloc or the newly formed Lotus On Track will have much stricter rules regarding overtaking etc.
This particular trackday was mostly attended by experienced drivers (the trackday part of the day also counted as a free practice for a race some of the attending cars would have at the end of day). I had some passenger rides during the day and although I can imagine the video looks a bit dangerous, I never had one scary moment on track.

Hi Barney!
Yes, it was the green/yellow Elise type 25 with the sideskirts.
That silver Exige from GB was the fastest Lotus at the race that day. Something like 2:49,xx :bow:
Driving might look aggressive for some, but in fact it wasn't. Look at the silver 993 I tried to catch under braking before La Source (03:43). It was a fast car, completely empty and on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. He didn't give up when I pulled alongside so I didn't push it, stayed on my line and we took the hairpin in formation flight. No problem. I didn't know the driver personally, but we did a couple of laps together and I figured he was quite experienced.
Same was true for the Donkervoort. I let him pass at Malmedy because it was clear he was the faster guy. Then I tried to follow him to learn something and gather video footage...
It's not as bad as it might look.
I didn't take part in the race though due to insurance issues (timed event).
A perfect day!

True, Mark was absolutely flying in the Exige :clap: He didn't perform that well in the race though, mainly because of the aggresive drivingstyle some of the Seven guys used during the race. He was rather keen on keeping the car in one piece you see (not a stupid thought if you remember how the race ended...) He's selling it btw and it's on the Plans Motorsports site. Awsome car.
Could you tell me a bit more about those skirts? How did you make them, do you use them on the public roads, do they really work, etc? I'm asking because Cai Cederholm in the dark coloured elise S1 (the swedish guy in the yellow racing suit with the gurney flap on the back of his car) was curious about them and was thinking of doing something similar to his car
Alternatively I could give you his e-mail adress? That way there is no chance for me to screw up telling him what you've told me
