SMG Racing

Hi folks, I registered here 5 years ago and have only been a quiet reader until now. That will change from today. I come from motorsport and have over 30 years of experience. From 1995-2013 I drove a Sunbeam Lotus in the german  hillclimb championship. Looking for a new challenge, I decided on a Lotus Esprit V8 in 2015. I really wanted a V8 mid-engine, turbocharged car to ignite the final stage in hill climbs. First of all, I rebuilt a Sport 350 as a test car. This still has a road approval and serves as a T-Car to adjust the chassis, brakes, engine and transmission. The performance is between 500-700 HP, depending on the boost pressure. The weight is ballasted to 1040kg. I will upload pictures for this project. Next up this year I'll build a 2nd car, the ultimate Esprit V8 of all time. It looks like the black factory car from 1996 (BPR), the Lotus Esprit GT1. This build up will be  also documented by me and uploaded here next time.

I do everything myself and can do everything to anyone.

I offer the following work:

engine build and rebuild (specially all 900 series LOTUS)

Production of turning and milling parts

TIG welding of aluminum or stainless and titanium

body work and painting

Construction of all body parts in carbon fiber

I will upload some images about my work on Esprit in categories next time.

best regards,

Andrae S.
