Elise goes Bad Ass

[jesus]

A lot of work has obviously gone into that, looks brilliant too!

 

[Tav]

but you would then have to go up a class and be the slowest car on the grid, the supercharged honda loti are at the back of the grid in the big boys class

An N/A Honda would move you up a class? I thought it'd have been similar class to the K-series or is it by displacement?

 

[Jason_E]

Awesome car! Truley brilliant

Guessing you had to pay to rent out TopGears track?

 

[Englebert]

Cheers. Our the old team were based there so used it all the time. Its still an active airfield as well.

An N/A Honda would still move us up a class as its not of manufacturer origin.

Nice car, my dads friend has a 340r which has been tuned beyond belief and its rapid

 

[ado]

Good luck at Spa.

What suspension setup is it running now? Fabricating your own parts yet?lol

 

[Jay Payne]

Really like that video, anymore?

 

[Englebert]

Plenty of video, just not online! Don't know how to do it TBH!

It is running latest Ohlins dampers, and yes it has some fabricated elements to help lower it... but won't go into too much detail

I love this car. Has to be the ultimate track toy in my book.

That aero kit reminds me of the old F1 ground effect cars. Sliding skirts next?
How noticeable is the added downforce?

 

[ado]

Sounds like a fancy setup you have. I'm sure it'll get more expensive soon.

 

[obes]

Have a good one at Spa guys, the car looks fantastic as always
We're skipping this one but will see you at Combe!
With a bit of luck we'll have the 200 mods on by then. Might get a couple more ponies too. Maybe you'll only lap us 9 times instead of 10!!

Shame you're not going mate... surely would have been a good opportunity to prove the Clio as an endurance car?

Weather forecast is heavy rain for the race though, so maybe i don't blame you! lol...

 

[Steviant]

Good luck Rob. Keep her lit!

It would have been a cracker, but we've got a few bits to sort out that meant we couldn't make it.

Can't believe the forecast, makes missing it even worse...the Clio's awesome in the wet!

Won't be missing it next year though, dying to razz the Clio round there!

 

[jayxx83]

that is simply awesome. always wondered about the business of motorsport. does your old man simply do it for a hobby or is there prize money involved? do you get sponsors involved to help fund the seasons racing.

good luck at spa btw!

 

[Englebert]

Thanks, leaving in a few hours! Heavy rain due...

It is a hobby, there are a couple of series where you can earn money but making money in motorsport is notoriously difficult. It is all self funded, if we made the effort we could probably attract enough sponsors to pay for race entry fees...but its easier to work that bit harder and get the cash together ourselves!

 

[Darren S]

Too late now, but hope it goes well for you! Jammy git!

D.

 

[Riad]

Awesome little read there, Hope all goes well mate!

 

[franx]

I think it is for me going to be an Elise SC , 220 hp sounds just right I'll start saving up , for a long while i think
