Bloody good vid, shame the sound of the cars isn't better rather than the music. 59sec lap towards the end...

This is a good one: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-4846248899926776457 - Elise taking an F40...

Do you know any more info about the Porsche, one off from where?

After a lot of digging I thought it was a Gemballa or RUF but was wrong.
From another picture I found it is by a company called PSI-Motorsport based in Belgium. I tried their website link but it does not work. They do the following:

• Build racing vehicles.
• Prepare racing engines.
• Manufacture kits for Porsche cars.
• Manufacture modules to increase the power of turbo-diesel cars

They are the market leader in Belgium for turbo-diesel tuning. They also prepare touring cars. This one is based on a 996 turbo not a GT2 as I first thought. I don't know how many have been made but I expect it is only a few.

quality racing. david and goliath!

Nice. Looks like a race car with that spoiler

 

[Englebert]

Thanks for the info. It appears they prepare some FFSA GT cars which take part in some British GT races. A bit strange considering the amount of 'official' GT3 RS Porsches that compete.

The elise driver in the second video is crazy he nearly hit the F40!

 

[Ross M]

Nice vid. Love how much ground the Elise makes up through the bends

 

[freeserver]

great vids. second driver was a nutter lol

 

[chunktrophy]

nice vid, i take it that was on a hot marques evening and not the usual hot hatch day??

 

[Evil Ally]

I don't see any novas on their roofs so I assume it must be a hot marques evening! Seems very quiet though?

 

[GeeUK]

If the Lotus made the Elises with a bit more power, they would be mental on track. Wonder how an Exige would have done against the Porshe?

 

[Ross M]

yeah hot marques evening.

 

[brisa4984]

when i was at the london excell motorshow, the lotus engineer said the exige s was faster round a track then a bike..'' not only that, but he said the exige s can be remapped and tweeked to 300bhp..

even if it is a pack of lies its still my next car for sure.
