Hello Guys,
We have just completed our final shakedown of our Lotus at Buttonwillow this weekend. The car is on it's way this week to the annual Car and Driver Super Tuner shootout in Michigan. The event is a very demanding single lap run with all of the numbers being crunched as you go. Very cool format. It's a pity we could not have also brought our MR for the event.

Need DIVX to play guys.

The competition is split up into 2 run groups: FWD and AWD/RWD. We need to hit 140mph this year on the straight and brake from that speed to a full stop. Wish us luck guys!!
