Lotus factory experience in an Exige V6 S.
Discussion
Went on the 14th Nov. Very enjoyable despite the rain. 40 mins driving the car in full road mode was impressive how good the car handles in these conditions.
Would be a great all whether car for me. Very tempting.
Funny, my mate who went to drive just didn't get the same enjoyment out the day. He just wasn't sure it would keep him on the track in the wet. I was encouraged to really drive it (thanks Lotus) and really got it drifting around 2 corners.
The instructor then took to the wheel and proceeded to turn off all the electronic aides, wow, it had an engine sound which was supercar territory.
However, on their track, just too much standing water to proceed in that mode.
On top of that, yesterday, drove on track a 430 Ferrari in France at Haute Sointonge. Wow.
Now, I need to go back again to Hethel, try it in the dry in Sport/track mode.
