One of the cool things about High Performance Drivers Schools is that you never know, what some folks will bring to the track. This Monday and Tuesday I attended a track event at Watkins Glen that was organized by Tracquest. At this event some of the cars present were:
Ferrari F355 Challenge
Vintgage Lola 520
Viper Competition Coupe
993 Porsche Cup Cars
996 Porsche Cup Cars - raced in the Grand American Series
560HP v8 powered 914
Lotus Exige
Overall the Tracquest events are more much expensive than the typical BMWCCA event but for the money you can get up to 5-6 hours of track time (as a passenger and driver). I had almost 2hours of seat time as a passenger and 3 hours on my own.
When I got there I immediately noticed the Lotus and I made it a point to whore a ride at some point over the two days. As my luck would have it, a friend of mine also attending the event is friends with the owner. That evening over some beers and car talk, the Lotus's owner invited me for a ride the following day.
Turns out that the Lotus is a UK street legal, right hand drive production car.
The car is sex on wheels. Fast, loud, handles like a dream and sticks like snot in turns. The car does nothing wrong and it kills most p-cars at will. All on street suspension settings.
