Lotus Elan 26R in Equipe Elan60 race at Silverstone - June 2024 - from start to pit stop in-lap
A privilege to be part of Equipe's unprecedented Elan-only race to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 26R.
After a badly bungled start (must practice standing starts!) lots of fun in the thick of things with some lovely and well-driven cars.
Substantial changes were made to my car's suspension set up since Goodwood in April which I didn't have time to test before qualifying for this race. Oversteer is the best kind of fun but I think a little too much oversteer bias in the set up compromised corner speed a bit and punished a couple of moments of frustrated over-driving.
Some work to do to refine the set up and also to refresh my engine to close the straight line speed gap with the evidently more powerful cars.
