Awesome skills

[RobM77]

cool. Lovely smooth driving in the wet there When I first watched it I was nervously thinking "oh my god, steering like that this guy's going off as soon as the back goes out". But then, at 2:09 he does finally get some oversteer. I was really worried that he'd IAM the wheel into a wall, but instead he exhibits probably the most skillful feeding the wheel opposite lock technique I've ever seen! fantastic!! I had to watch that bit about five times to believe it!

edited to say: he's just done it again at 3:05! brilliant!

Mental,

Those 2 11's are wicked mate. What engine's did those Exige's etc have Honda? Fairly quick on the straight but that 2 11 was in a different league

What is it going to take to convince you that a s/c Honda is substantially quicker than a 2-Eleven?

Well that's just it, been in a Honda'd car non S/C and I'd say it was about as quick as my Exige S, I've also had a pax in an Audi engined Elise & last weekend in a S/c honda'd car, yes bloody quick but I wasn't amazed. Trouble is that I've been in so many fast car's now it take's a lot to impress me

Mind you I was fairly impressed with the C6 I drove Sunday, quick for such a big car in a straight line anyway

Sorry for going off topic so much, I'll believe that when I see them both in action next year in the Trophy, their might be some more Bhp on it's way into the 2 11 very soon which will take care of that anyway

Not that C6 mate!



I wouldn't have one thou if you gave it to me!

[L100NYY]

I'd seriously consider a Z06 version though!!!

Seriously, seriously quick. Makes a standard C6 look pedestrian in comparison!

An NA Honda'd S2 will easily keep up with an Exige S easily. Fact. I know so because I was short-shifting behind one on a Kent run last summer, driven by someone who's a quick driver. The only reason I wasn't all over it was that I'm not a fan of doing silly speeds on the public roads these days and backed off.

I know you love Lotus almost more than life itself fella, but you're dreaming if you think the same driver in a 2-11 is going to get anywhere near a forced induction Audi or Honda'd car. It's simply not going to happen.

How you can't have been impressed by an Audi'd or SC Honda'd car I cannot comprehend mate. Every single one I've been in, without fail, has made me think "shiiiiiiiit, this is quick". The 240R and Cup240's I've pax'd/driven were quick for sure, but the 300+ cars are silly fast.

I'm looking forward to a ride in a 2-11 sometime though, no doubt it's a great little car.

Have you been in one? The C6 that my Dad's mate owns is nearly new and it's falling apart already Really cheaply finished, he was really trying to impress me and forgot about a speed hump Poor sod, can't wait for the Eagle mate just praying to god that it's quick

Well it flipping well should be if it's got a V6 and isn't a tub of lard.

Agree sir,

Just wondering if they are aiming it at Cayman or the 911, it's in strange bracket really as theirs nothing else with that platform. Price wise it's going to be around 50k what else is in that bracket?

Completely bonkers way of steering on track (feeding the wheel), but amazingly he catches it!
