As a new car in GT4, I suspect the BOP handicap for Macau was only based on paper stats. That will have helped the Emira, as some of its competitiveness isn’t directly linked to the headline numbers. The more cynical might wonder if Geeley could influence the handicapping for their first Emira...

Thanks! They’re mostly India, Isle of Man and Scotland, a few in Europe. But one castle looks very much like another :)

You could ask your local Lotus dealer who they use for paint work. Very few dealers will do it in-house and whichever paintshop they use will have access to the Lotus paint codes and formulations.

And no coincidence that just a week later it’s the Guangzhou Auto Show, where Lotus have a huge stand and are showing one of the winning Emira GT4s alongside a Fittipaldi Evija and examples of Emira and Eletre road cars. Now they just need to sort out that Evija ‘Ring record….
