We had a Belgian registered Exige Cup take part in the Lotus-On-Track trackday at Folembray on Saturday. Owner had only had it for 4 weeks, good to see he is using it for it’s intended purpose. I was never too keen on this colour scheme on the Elise but think it looks good on the Exige.
I think the S2 Cup cars are fantastic - genuine FIA compliance in a package you can drive on the raod without any problem at all - they recapture the 60’s racing Lotuses which were equally capable on the road as on the track.
Here’s a pic of our Cup Car - soon to be seen at a track near you…
Excellant video footage again Mark.
Maybe you should change your id to ‘The Spindoctor’
Mark, what’s the diggerydo on your dash with the cable running from it?
Do you also remove your rear view mirror to get clearer footage?

If your thinking of getting one, Plans can supply Cup Cars, upgrade existing S2 Exiges to total Cup spec, or supply individual parts…
Isn’t a cup car just a normal Exige with a roll cage/extinguisher/cut off? If so surely it is much cheaper to get a standard Exige and convert it?

It also has the harnesses, LSD, uprated clutch and adjustable suspension as well. I know from speaking to Lotus Sport just to get the LSD retro fitted is around the �1900 mark, 2/3 of that is the labour as they recon as it’s a bitch of a job to do
interesting! That colour is the Type 23 colour scheme. I owned a type 23 series 2 before my exige and let me tell you with the hard top on, white colour coded wheels, big carbon rear diffuser and race graphics it really looked nice. 187hp engine made it go well too reggie was SNO3 CXT for anyone that may have seen it

Thing on the dash is the GPS antenna for the Micro Road Pilot.
Yes always remove the rear view mirror when using the camera.
