Brooke And Foley Take The Spoils As Lotus Cup Uk Speed Championship Go

Just two points separates the top two drivers in the Lotus Cup UK Speed Championship, following the penultimate round at Curborough near Lichfield last Sunday (20 September).
The competitors were joined by the Aston Martin Owners Club, and sunny conditions enhanced the paddock atmosphere, where a superb range of cars could be found.
The figure of eight course caught out Mark Swarbrick in both practice sessions before he successfully negotiated the circuit for fourth place in the Production class. He was overshadowed by category podium finishers Graeme Foley in first, followed by Rob Clark and Simon Foley in a close competition.

 

The SuperSport class featured an impressive battle which ended with reigning Lotus Cup UK Speed Champion Xavier Brooke taking first place. Behind him, Jason Weatherall headed Dave Mann to complete the class rostrum. Mann’s progress was hampered with several car issues, which he’ll be aiming to sort in time for the final round and the chance to secure third place in the championship.

 

Other notable performances included Jason Weatherall, who claimed the fastest speed over the finish line, at just over 101mph. Martin Roberts showed real commitment, including an off on his second practice. His progress throughout the year has been noticeable, closing the gap on the faster drivers, he and his efforts were rewarded with the Driver of the Day award.

 

The final round of the championship will take place at Snetterton on 1 November. With Production class leader Jez Braker heading SuperSport’s Tony Pearman by just two points, the 2015 title will be settled at the Norfolk venue.

    Newbie question

    As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. A

    Mud Guard Replacement and other bits

    Recently I bought my first Lotus, an Elise S2 08 R. There’s a few basic bits I’d like to get sorted and ideally would like someone to do this for me. I’m not mechanically minded at all. Left mud flap is missing, I’ve bought the part but someone to fit it plus a couple of other minor bits like a rattling brake pad, probably a spring/clip(?). I’m East Midlands, near Peterborough and wondering if there’s any recommendations for Lotus garages/people this direction?

    Spotted at British Motor Show

    ...does it count if you spot yourself? I joined the SELOC stand at the British Motor Show last week. There were half as many time machines* there as Lotuses! (Well I'm exaggerating actually because there was a Lotus Carlton on another stand and a 340R in the supercar section. Maybe next year I should cross link to the SELOC events page as it would be great to have a bit more of a showing and I know MLOC has some members a bit further south. Enjoyed having a bit of time this aftern

    Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    Elise S2 111R MFRU multi function relay unit replacement

    Hi Everyone, I need to replace the MFRU on my Elise 111R and I am looking for some advice please. Firstly, can this be done from above, or is it necessary to remove the under tray and do it from below? I am uncertain how much slack are in the connector leads. Also, should the unit simply slide up and off the mounting tab, or is it locked somehow, as mine won't budge. Is there a locking tab that needs to be deflected to unlock the unit? This issue is not mentioned by any owners, so
