2 Eleven interior space
Discussion
Unbelievably I fit in it fine size 12's included! There's more space than a current elise for me more arm and shoulder room and no real issue with the gearstick. My right hand is a bit close to my knee in relation to the steering wheel but I reckon a one inch spacer will solve that completely.
What an utterly stunning car can't believe how supple it is on the road too.

I've gone and bought it now too. Loved it and can't wait to get it home!
I think I may have seen you and your car refuelling at tangmere services just outside of goodwood a couple of years back. That car and a red one I see at goodwood were the two reasons I've been after one for ages
Never bothered to try one before as just assumed like the Elise there was no way I'd fit in it. I live 2 miles from the circuit so mine will be there as soon as possible !
One of the other reasons I can drive it is due to the Elise having some sort of cover over the steering column/dashboard which isn't there in the 2-11. With size 12's my feet hit this cover under braking which makes it almost undriveable.
Is the standard steering wheel 320mm? Thinking of going to a 280 or 300 to just give me a little more space again.

Cheers all! Can't wait to get it. It's definitely the best car I've ever driven and I've driven a lot of stuff over the years. I was gobsmacked by it on the road so I cant wait to see what it's like on a track.
Another question. Is it right that there's no service book with these and that were supposed to use a usb stick but the system Lotus used didn't work properly?

Collected the car today. Got to say I forgot what proper driving was, the car is just mental fun and intense at any speed. The sound of that high revving supercharged lump behind you is just awe inspiring. What a car! 
Couple of pics. I sourced an eccentric spacer (Momo) for the car, works well at normal roads speed (raises the wheel) will see how it is on the track. Gives me a lot more room in normal driving but less with a lot of lock on. The Sparco wheel is 30mm smaller as well than the standard car, really good tactile wheel. Now to find a JPS badge for the centre!

Helmets.. Had a couple of higher speed blats in it recently and have noted that my current lid (Arai GP6S) is lifting up at speed from the chin which is a bit disconcerting. Have several track days booked first next week.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Do I have to look at one with a duckbill or similar to get around this? I was looking at the Arai GP6 PED as I prefer Arai helmets normally but not sure it will work as well as something with a duckbill. Being tall my head sticks right up into the airstream and the little windscreen does next to nothing. Thoughts?

I fitted a 60mm spacer to the factory QR on my 2-11 and combined it with a 300mm Sparco. Made a huge difference.
