Popular Post Yannie Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Such a different car but after a few track days in the 718 things felt a little flat. No doubt I could improve my driving but my 718 just felt a little disconnected (felt amazing when I first got it!). Plus, service fees for keeping it on the track… Slightly worried about the 420 as I only just fit with a helmet (or maybe I don’t but I’m ignoring that for now) plus exhaust might need changing, plus worried that I’m not good enough for the car but still… should be able to collect this week and I’m super excited - hence the post! P.S. I’m in Bishops Stortford if any Lotus owners are local and want to give me a shout (esp if you’re planning any track days) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Welcome to TLF @Yannie Looking forward to what you think after getting it and having a good drive in it. The Exile certainly looka more exciting standing still than a 718. Any questions or issues with using the forums, feel free to ask one of us mods. We're here to help.

Thanks @ramjet - great community already. I went to Goodwood last week and, even though it was a tight fit with my brother on the trip, it was amazing fun to drive. Much more fun. I'm very glad I made the move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbers Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Welcome to the forum. You can switch the "Noise" over on these can't you so its quieter for track use? I know my local race circuit insists Lotus's switch off the Sport mode exhaust note as it breaks their noise level limits. Quote Possibly save your life.
