Hi all.
I work with Team Elite, and have only just discovered this thread... Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I thought I would clarify one or two points with you all...
"Was talking to some race people yesterday who know the car say no chance of it being ready by Sebring. "
Was never aware that not being at Sebring was an option.... We were set-up for the race well ahead of time... Shame we didn't get many miles on the car though!
"I don't see how they can hope to be remotely competitive running against audi and others. I means it's a late 90s design which Lotus never really spent the time to develop."
It is precisely because Lotus never really spent the time to develop it that we feel it has untapped potential... Sure, beating the Audi's is a tall order, but then again, isn't it for anyone who enters???
"edit- Says nothing except in the title "Elise to race at Sebring"- jeez would someone please get some definitive info and post it on Sebring- It would be nice to be able to plan for this thing- why is Elite being so damned coy while article after article claims the Elise will be there"
From the outset, our press releases stated that we would be at Sebring.... Never said anything different... The only indecision we had was whether we would do select LMES rounds as well....
BTW... We will be at Mid-Ohio in June with our new engine programme underway.... See you guys there???
AH
