i guess you like beck cyberdorf? i've gotta pick up the deluxe version.. i heard one of his songs on the radio, pretty good
 but back on topic.. dyan ley isn't a bad driver, he did the lotus (elise) championship in australia in 2003 and 2004 IIRC, didn't go too badly, always in the top 3 or so.. so if that article is correct, the team is in the GT300 field this year right? they want to develop the car so it can be in the GT500 field next year? The much restricted FIA GT-spec based car will be shedding weight and building muscle as the team progresses towards a much faster Super GT-spec concoction for next year. why not just go all out this year by shedding weight and up the power??? |

 I'm not sure what the car's specs will be but there is no "FIA GT-based" Exige. So they are building something brand new. If they want to go GT300 then I assume they'll bring something similar to that one-off 3l Sport Exige that was unveiled early this year (or was it late last year).

Doesn't this Exige use lots of components from the Pilbean LMP2/SR2?
Not a clue what the homologation regs are for GT500/GT300 as it seems 'protoype' GT cars are allowed to race. I also noticed the 'GT300' Exige has a 400bhp+ engine! Last edited by JAG; 9 Apr 2005 at 15:13. |

Where on earth did they get "FIA GT-spec" from? Surely they can't mean a Spa-24hrs version? Or was it just built to FIA specifications? (which itself is weird because unless I'm mistaken, I'm thinking there are no specifications for an Elise/Exige anyway?)
Sounds to me like they've misread their situations and just meant it was prepared for European racing. Particularly with Pilbeam having something to do with it. Would be good to see a GT2 Lotus (again...?), particularly since there aren't any in the likes of BGT this year, are they in Belcar and/or GT racing in Italy or France? |
