Sucks a bit that you not near enough to take part in the Lotus Challenge!!! looks like you would do well and have a lot of fun. We all racing at the topgear festival in Durban in June, they are going to relax some of the regulations on signing a waiver so that the coastal guys can join. Maybe think about it/find out more?


From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Golfmad i think anyone can do it with practice, how do they say?
Practice makes perfect and i'm far from perfect, believe me i also get it wrong just as many times as i get it right.
But its all in a days fun :lol:

James i doubt if the setup of my car is even close to racing spec ,so i will rather sit on the bench.
Maybe its just my balls thats to small :mrgreen:

It does sound quite exciting. I suppose it's organised by the Lotus Register?

Yip, Lotus Register race. I am expecting there to be about 30 -35 cars on track.
If i figure out how to put videos on youtube then i can put up videos as well. How did you compress your videos to a size that you tube can handle?

My videos were taken with a cell phone so they were small enough to upload to you tube.
I've got no idea how you would compress a video. Maybe somebody on the forum can help.
