I worked for Lotus Engineering from '91 til '95, and have been around the track many times in various bits of kit, ranging from an Excel with the CPS valve-train fitted, to Lotus Carlton, M100 Elans and Corvette ZR1.
At the time the main straight was exactly that, straight.
No cones to slow you into the far hairpin. Managed 165mph in a Carlton down there before firmly hitting the brakes! The Elan's would take both the hairpin & steering pad at in excess of 60mph safely with no understeer.
I miss my Elan, the grip was unbelievable. At the time the main straight was exactly that, straight.
