Abu Dhabi Gp - Race - Lotus Renault Gp Report

Vitaly Petrov, P13, R31-06

 

Bruno Senna, P16, R31-04

 

Lotus Renault GP leave Abu Dhabi in 13th and 16th place, after a hard day’s night at the Yas Marina Circuit with neither car scoring any points.

 

Just like the entire weekend, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took place in hot and hazy conditions with an air temperature of 27°C, though the dusk held off for the duration of the race, with the floodlights taking over from the sun.

 

With the DRS failing, Vitaly was unable to advance from his starting position of P12; he crossed the line in P13. Being unable to overtake anyone else, Vitaly tried to do a one stop race but the hard tyre couldn’t last long enough so he had to stop for the soft tyre.

 

Bruno had a problem with his KERS which really cost him, and put him back between half a second to a second each lap. There’s no real positives to take from today. Lotus Renault GP will now just have to ensure to do the best job possible to prepare for Brazil…

 

World Champion Sebastian Vettel spun off with a rear puncture, allowing Lewis Hamilton to lead Fernando Alonso from lap 2. Alongside Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastien Buemi and Jérôme D’Ambrosio had to retire in today’s race at the Yas.

 

At the front Lewis Hamilton took a dominant victory for McLaren ahead of Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari and Jenson Button in the second McLaren.

    Lotus Model Collection

    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
