Cheers for the write-up & analysis chaps.
Quite a showing for a Scorpio engine and turnip farmers from Norfolk.

I think that the timing sheets show what i’m saying that around laps 40 - 58 (on sheet 11&12) compared with other cars on there laps 42/43 - 62/63 the lotus are on the pace and some laps quicker than porsche, aston, mosler etc. Hard to work out exactly with out spending hours looking at the timings as the lotus were 3 -4 laps down by that point.
not sure what you are looking at?

at no point were they faster than car 33 DBR9 (pace car laps excluding)
at the end of the day, they were tragically slow

Give them chance, mate. First time out for the car and all. They’ve done very little testing, Chris only had about half a day in the car and they only managed to get the other 2 built sometime last week. All in all, in typical Lotus style, I think that’s a bloody good effort
It may not be the fastest car on the grid (yet), but by God is it pretty

Hey, what’s 2-4 secs a lap first time out?
at the end of the day, they were tragically slow
FFS!
These comparisons are “interesting”.
