Just stumbled across this on You Tube, most of you have probably already seen it but its the first time i have and it totally amazed me. I didnt realise Lotus cars could actually breathe in when overtaking other cars. There is no way i would ever have the bottle to drive like that. Fair play to whoever was behind the wheel, very very skilled and very very brave.

Fantastic driving for sure!

However do remember that this is a reverse grid start therefore all the cars in front of this driver had qualified with slower times hence why it looks to get easier to pass the further up the field the car gets. Would have been interesting to see the car that was right at the back! (there were 12 exiges that had qualified faster than this chap and were even further down the field at the start!)

Yep, its a old clip but probably the best one on youtube. Every so often I watch it again. I think it was the second race of two and it was a reverse grid.

Is that an Elise narrow-body version ffs!! Found this clip whilst on the same page- shows the 2-11 launch control at the start of a hill climb type sprint. The rest isn't the most thrilling though.
