Five minute vid of Lotus chasing a S2000. My favorite part is at 4:07 when the Vette comes from nowhere and overshoots the corner.

Very nice video. Regarding the "4:07," that's the turn where you have to double downshift to not face the wall or get off the track. I drove at that track last January with tbelise and our friend Young. It's a very technical (at least for me) and great track. The circuit has a lot of decreasing radius turns. For added excitement, almost all the turns have significant elevation changes. The view is spectacular in the middle of the desert with 10 cars on the track trying their best to hit all the apexes.

That corvette was a nut case. He could have easily taken the lotus guy out with him.
That makes me worry about track days.
It doesnt look like the lotus guy was giving up that turn. Or even knew the vette was going to try and pass.
Im going to have to show my cousin this vid. They pass a NSX.

The Vette was way past the passing zone, wrong side for passing at that track, and was not on the racing line.

Man, what was done to the S2000?
The most important thing: the part between the steering wheel and the driver's seat.
