Track! Will you actually take this gorgeous car on a track day?
Mark Williams1 replied to Evotion's topic in Emira Chat
I have done around 30 track events (mixture of full days and evenings) in the two and a half years I have owned my Alpine A110. The A110 will not be going anywhere until I have had the chance to put a Emira through its paces out on track, where it will need to be as fun and engaging (in a variety of conditions) as the Alpine to remain in the garage! -

Thanks for the welcome @ramjet. No I have not owned a Lotus yet. I looked into a Evora but ended up with a TVR Cerbera and also looked at a Elise S1 as a track orientated car but ended up in a Megane R26.R. I'm 6ft5 so the Elise was boarding on cramped! I'm hoping there will be enough head room in the Emira to accommodate me with the a helmet on! I'll head over to the Introductions area as well.

The A110 is indeed a fantastic car especially with a couple of small modifications (suspension / geo / wheels). I have been looked after extremely well by my local dealer as well. I really hope Lotus produce a amazing car with the Emira, it will need to be to outshine the Alpine. Look forward to hopefully meeting some of you at Goodwood. I will be there on the Friday.
