Rather then something that has been bolted together in a backyard i would suggest they are a race derivative of the Exige from one of the European GT3 series. Here are some specs of one i have saved in my favourites :D

- Toyota 1.8 2ZZZ Charge-cooled and supercharged 320bhp

- Dry sump

- Hewland PCT 6 Speed Sequential Transmission (flat shift)

- Limited Slip Differential

- Switchable Traction Control

- 2007 Wide-body

- Quick Release Carbon Fibre Front and Rear Clams and Rear Wing

- Air Jack System

- Digital Dash

- 6-point FIA Approved Roll Cage

- Removeable Steering Wheel

- FIA and HANS Approved Recaro Seat and Race Harness

- Ohlins 4-Way TTX Dampers

- Aluminium Uprights

- AP Twin Master Cylinder System with Dial Bias Adjuster

- 6-Pot AP Front Brake Callipers

- Centre Nut Hubs

- Lotus Sport 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (10 Inch Rear Wheels)

If i have guessed right then there shouldnt be any real surprise that the thing is as quick as it is

that would crazy fast to drive!!

we were thinking about it but probably not as we would have to change the exhaust for the sound issue so proably QR for us next for test.

good article in the current issue of race magazine about the gt lotus. but I'm pretty sure these ones are not directly related.

the "production" bit of production sports cars is very different to the "production" bit of production cars. they are more like sports sedans rules.

Dont follow Duncan :D

The GT3 Exige went up against the Challenge 360, GT3RS etc, the factory hi-po cars. Just like the little GT3 Exige in the linked EC results. I saw the Peter Lucas car at the GT Round at Albert Park earlier this year. Unless he has two or converted engines (doubt it, these things are pretty rare to start with and i think an engine change will mean it is no longer eligible for GT Championship) i am pretty sure its an ex European GT3 Exige. Last time i looked at the Production Sports cars there was a handful of drivers and cars that were also doing the Australian GT Championship.

Awesome, awesome car!

Troy, is that Exige based on the same class rules as the yellow Exige in the GT championship here that Bargwanna drives? I was watching the Clipsal 500 round of the championship last night, and the Lotus was killing it! Nobody, apart from the F430 of Allan Simonsen were even close. Amazing car. :woot:

Roy I am pretty sure it is a different car to what you have listed so he must have 2? As I know the ones you have listed is an Exige where he has clearly marked the entry form elisenot exige and with a 2L engine, and I know if I had one of those exige's I would not be labeling it an elise :)

I have had a few people ask me about a timetable, so that they know when to turn up and watch. My response has been that a timetable would be pretty useless in this style of event. Cars split into sessions, sessions that may or may not be delayed due to offs, recoveries and track clean up. Then in the afternoon two, one car at a time, flying lap shoot outs for 5 cars. Personally I think the earlier sessions will be more interesting for specators with multiple cars on the track at the same time. For people who can't be there all day that's what I have suggested, what do others think?

Cheers

Gary

Cool, you are most likely right. LOL, but this is motorsport so i woudl be calling it an Elise as well, just to lower expectations :)

Like they say, speak to a driver of a 300kw track car and he will tell you it only has 250kws. Speak to the driver of a 300kw street car and he will tell you it makes 350kws :P

Guys,

I have just been speaking with one of the Open Class entants and he has booked the GP circuit on the 2nd of July. He has informed me that he is going to let about 20 people come and get on the track and it will be around $225 but you will have to let me know if you are keen so I can forward you onto him so if you want to go to get some laps in the week before the event you better get in quick.

For the experienced guys - does OP GP slow down in the afternoons like wakie does?

Should we expect the track to be quicker in the morning? (weather considering of course!!)

      Spotted on the street....

      Indeed. Mitsuoka always did their magic on various Nissan models, but because the Nouera was going to be in the medium sized sedan class, they decided not to try and modify the 2004 P12 Nissan Primera because it looked too modern combined with the 1940's styling. It would contrast way too much so they went with the more suitable CL7 Accord... 😆

      R32 GTS/GTST non driven wheel speed

      By Looney_Head · Posted

      Hi People, has anyone come up with a way of getting non-driven wheel speed on a R32 Gts/gtst? from what i've seen the RWD R32 didn't look to come with ABS, if they did i can't find a rwd ABS front knuckle anywhere. is it a case of putting a S14/R33 front knuckle on and then modifying the ASB ring to suit a ECU input frequency limit? or have people managed to get a hall sensor onto the back of the hub and pick up the wheel studs?   i've searched but there isn't anything that I could find.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      I was thinking about a hoist, the ceiling is very high, but half the garage has a half-height loft for storage and I dont think I'll even be able to jack the X5 up under it as it almost hits me in my 6'5" elevated head when i walk in there. And, yeah nah, maybe if I can convince Bec to let me get another car she'd be open to having as many as we can fit (cough @Duncan) but until that time you better steer clear! 🤣

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By ggub · Posted

      For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money.
