Indycar - Edmonton Indy - Preview

They say it's the Racing Capital of Western Canada. The City of Edmonton, Alberta, is buzzing this week with race activities, in preparing for the upcoming Edmonton Indy. This Sunday, all 25 drivers from the IZOD IndyCar Series will compete in this season's 11th race event at the City Centre Airport course, just a stone's throw from the downtown streets.

"I'm looking forward to Edmonton, it's always a fun event," says Lotus HVM Racing driver Simona De Silvestro. "The team has been working really hard. My Lotus car in Toronto was the best I've ever had there, and I think we'll have another good car in Edmonton. So, hopefully, we'll have a good finish."

After Toronto's engine failure during the race two weeks ago, De Silvestro's engine was sent to the UK for analysis and repairs.

Motorsport Engine Manager for Lotus, Vincent Pereme comments: "The Edmonton Lotus engine will be an updated spec from the Toronto engine. The new bits in it will be adding another noticeable step in performance and will bring us definitely closer to the competitors. We will still be behind but getting closer at every race. We already have another improvement planned for Mid-Ohio as the parts were not made available in time to be brought to Edmonton unfortunately. This modification will bring a further step up in our fluid dynamics efficiency".

He adds "On the reliability side, we were unfortunate to have an issue on the engine which wasn't related to the newly introduced engine upgrade. This engine failure was a big blow to our expectations for the weekend. However, we have to bear in mind that all the engine manufacturers are experiencing reliability problems this year. We have found a fix for it and aren't expecting any issues this weekend."

I plan to post about my driving adventures over there, so keep an eye on this blog should you be int

    LitP 2025 photos

    Does anyone have any good photos of this year's LitP that they wouldn't mind sharing? Absolute Lotus magazine would like to publish a short report of the event and need some photos. Ideally I think they would like a selection of pics from the entire weekend so bbq, pootle, runs, Sunday breakfast stop the procession down Winnats Pass and Bamford. Photos of the people aswell as the cars are also welcomed. If you have any and are happy for them to go in the magazine without a credit or pa

    Exige V6 - Rear tyres

    Rear tyres will need changing fairly soon.................... My Exige is currently fitted with 265/35R18 rears.  The Sport 380/410/430 are fitted with 285/30R18.  Would there be any benefit in going with a bigger profile rear tyre?  I'm just looking at some options.  Cup2's are proving difficult to find.
