Lotus update, for those interested. [Videos]
After a delayed start to the Le Mans trip resulting in the man that built the engine actually delivering it to me in France, the car took me from Le Mans, all over the Spanish mountains and back again. It's now going to be collected for its first service and to sort out a few little niggles. Considering the chap was working 15 hour days to try and get it done on time it's amazing that it did it without missing a beat.
I made a couple of vids that some of you might like, one of them is of the dials (made on my rather long driveway, not the public road...) and the other is from behind. It kicks out quite a bit of smoke when bouncing off the limiter or flat out, but apparently that's normal.
