Lotus Challenge Series Will Get Backing From The Factory

bilde.jpg

 

 

Lotus Cars USA Inc. said it will become the title sponsor of the Lotus Challenge Series.

 

Lotus Cars spokesman Kevin Smith would not say how much money the company is giving the race series, but said it will go toward areas such as logistics support, track rentals and awards.

 

"We have an increasing number of some of our most enthusiastic and loyal Lotus customers participating n the Lotus Challenge Series, and this is one of our ways of showing them how much we appreciate them," Smith said.

 

The season was expanded from eight races in 2008 to 10 events this year, and four races remain on the schedule. The series is trying to add four race dates in Texas this year.

 

Lotus enthusiast Jim Navarro started the series to give owners a chance to compete and improve their driving skills.

 

The series is comprised of several classes which cover street cars such as the Elise and the Exige as well as track-only vehicles such as the Exige Cup Car 255 and the 2-Eleven.

    I have a bit of a Lotus model and memorabilia collection that I inherited from my Father that really needs to be moved on. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience on the best way to deal with this?

    TRD Airbox for Elise

    Hi, Apologies if this has been answered recently - I've just joined and couldn't find anything in the search.   I've recently bought a 2018 Elise Sport 220 which I've been enjoying hugely. About the only thing I'd like to change is the sound, and I've read that a TRD airbox is a big improvement. The problem, of course, is I have also read they are no longer made and I can't find any in stock either. So does anyone have any suggestions: - where might I be able to find one?

    Evora 400 Audio Upgrade?

    Hi Guys It took me over a couple of hours to drive back from LiTP because of traffic etc. Its the first time I tried listening to the stereo and it was pretty dismal. I did some research and it turns out my car left the factory without the rear amp, subwoofer, cabling and brackets so I'm probably looking to install a mini amp, sub and upgrade the front speakers as apparently they are very poor. Just wondering if anyone else has done anything similar to their Evora and what they did. Wo
