got a bit boring after the 3 minute mark
I think I saw a 993 Turbo being eaten by the Elise. Nice!

Got to agree, great video!!! BUT.....

I don't think the driver was actually that good. He just happened to have a very good car under him. Watch some of the fade edits......there are some VERY strange lines going into some of those corners and it wouldn't suprise me that he cocked it up a bit on them, but edited them out. Also, the car is compensating for a lot of his mistakes. Its clearly one of the best cars out there, but his driving isn't really showing what it can do. He cut up most of the cars there!!! Not good track day ettiquette!!!

Either way, a very entertaining vid and an AWESOME car!! Beating GT3's like that it has to be pretty good........




Not sure about the drive though.....

The car is indeed planted to the road, and the brakes are good, also he brakes a lot of rules not to pas on the right side?? normaly not in race conditions you only may pass on the left side me thought??
Anyway he was beating a lot of different cars, but that ofcorse does not tels the whole story put a real porsche racing driver in that black GT3 2004? and the GT3 would win on that cirquit against the driver in the honda elise...but stil the Elise is the easyer drive I think with less weight and a god roadholding...the GT3 is around 1350kg? and more expensive so most drivers holding back a bit me thinks, I know I would with such car...but in the Elise its easyer to play...its daring you to do so

I too can cut a video overtaking GT3s ... when they are on a cooldown laps, whatever.

This answer is not appropriate to a man of your calibre.

The driver is a Selocer and has posted some really good videos.
Some are full laps of Zandvoort where he eats GT3's and almost everything else on the track for breakfast.
On that video, his data logger is also showing some impressive levels of grip.

Thought the driving was pretty good. Best I've seen from someone that can't heel and toe. Car is awesome, and seems to be incredibly grippy. You can certainly see in the video that in proper hands, a GT3 or M3 CSL would be a bit more of a challenge to overtake than this guy makes it appear. Not knocking the driving, though. From where I'm sitting, this guy looked reasonably handy.

not trying to rubbish the driver but just provide some context, 2.56 is not very quick for spa ... a 150bhp caterham would manage that no problem. A road GT3RS will do under 2.50.

Yep, the overtaking does not say that lotus is faster then that or this...it just shows some moments, but its pretty fast and very grippy..and the sound is cool me thinks...
When I saw it I just wanted to race that car big fun in such lightweight even for not so skiled drivers like myself
I wonder how a 300+ hp Exige/Elise will do at such track specially on long straights it can do a bit more against fast CSL and GT3
