Doesn't look like any Lotus GT4's in the American series this year... to bad.

Looking forward to the European race this weekend!

I know at least one landed in the states recently..

Not a good showing for the Emira on this one... Hopefully better tomorrow, but not likely!

I'm working with Mahiki Racing as they gear up for the British GT and European GT4 championships this year - we're over the moon to be driving the Emira GT4s and are glad to see so much excitement surrounding the return of Lotus to GT racing. Following this thread for any questions or updates from anyone else racing the Emira this year! Love to see it, we're also pretty active on social media if anyone's interested in seeing what we're up to..

Hi guys! I'm coming back with some super exciting news: the Lotus Emira GT4 has officially set the fastest lap record at Silverstone for any GT4 car!
If this wasn't exciting enough, we (Mahiki Racing) raced our 2x Emira GT4s in the Pro-AM category for British GT on Sunday and finished at P1 in Class and P3 overall!
Absolutely over the moon, and this is only the Emira's second appearance on the British GT grid.
It was a huge 40 car grid, and we battled fiercely for P1 and P2 for the majority of the race: Number #69 Steven lake and Nathan Harrison fought valiantly at the top of the leaderboard unfortunately missing out on the podium, but Number #20 Gordie Mutch and Ian Duggan celebrated atop the podium twice!
Attached some images, more footage will be soon available here: https://www.instagram.com/mahikiracing/

Thank you! Lotus back on top!!

Great achievement Charlotte. The weather and full course yellows made it difficult for everyone and for a new team to come through with P3 overall in GT4 was special to see and encouraging for the rest of the season. We were pleased to be there to witness it.

Lotus of Detroit got their first one about 1 month back! They now have 2 with the 2nd being up for sale right now!

Thank you! Lotus back on top!!

Hey Charlotte, any chance of a couple of close ups of the rear wing and how it attaches to the body of the car?

Does the rear hatch need any work to fit it? No info from Lotus and local dealer has no idea.

Thank you.
