Could it be that Lotus are starting to recognise the people who are continually trying to further the company name in the public eye.

Great news

Is that really the old crooning Barry White driving with Gavin? He may weigh the same as a whale but he’s powered by LUUUUV

Should allow Gavin to easily mix business with pleasure!

LMAO, what is there to be scared of

My GOSH! The Lotus is 1.5 secs faster than the DBRS9? And both of the cars need a lot more development. Perhaps the Aston is sandbagging, given all the compromises forced on it to be in the GT3 class?

yes, noticed that myself…but that’s not the same car that was belting around Le Mans last summer, is it? I thought that was designated as the DBR9, so the S must mean its a different variant.

Yes, the DBSR9 is a significantly dumbed down version, but what a shellacing. no details here from prodrive:
