Lotus Cortina race video thread! All videos in first post!

The thought bubbles and the comments made me laugh out loud.

I really need to go back and watch all of the videos, I only watched the first few. This is a great thread.

Haha, glad you liked it! Hopefully the other videos will be interesting too. Anything happen with that car you showed me?

No, I think I'm going to hold off on that one. I'm leaving more towards finding one that's already done. Saw this earlier today, and I love 2002s but don't think they are the most competitive in vintage racing

I'd say an s30 datsun would be a better choice. Would it even qualify I have no clue.

Fair enough, it needed a lot for sure. I just wish I could see another one racing :( 2002s are competitive in the B Sedan classes, with Alfa GTVs and GTAs, Cortinas, and occasional oddballs. Will they win most group races outright? Probably not. Will they usually have close competition? In most cases.

Z-cars do qualify, though we usually see 240s near us. They run in the same group as the Ginettas and they're quick.

Trust me if I had a choice between the two, its a Cortina all the way. Thats why I havent pulled the trigger on anything. For now, my Lotus Cortina dreams will live vicariously through this thread. ;)

Ireland Engineering is in our backyard so that doesnt surprise me. Plus I get to keep playing with BMWs instead of a totally new marque. Who knows, but this thread isnt about me or 2002s.

MOAR CORTINA! haha

You wanted a 6.5/22-13, right? I just dismounted one today from a spare for Tom's MkVII. I only have the one, however, and it'll be the last one we get because the MkVII was just sold. You're free to come pick it up though!

[ELVA164]

Just so everyone knows, I updated the thread to include ALL my videos in chronological order in the first post! Hopefully that'll make it a bit easier to navigate!

Hey guys

If anyone is in need, I have lots of Cortina and Anglia parts, mostly Mk2 parts though....but do have 2 early 67 M2's for parts.

Also have a rebuilt 1600 on a 711M block with low miles, great for a Lotus 7, rep, Anglia or what have you...

Located right near VIR.

THanks

A quick question for you guys before I start racing this weekend: Does anyone think it would be helpful for me to include a "current lap" thing in the corner of my videos? Or would it be superfluous? I was thinking something in a "Lap x/y" format.
