Top Gear Photos with Chris Harris Track Testing

[TomE]

Lotus have confirmed the alignments specs on Sports are the same for Cup2s and Goodyears.

No, we really DONT love it

Talking about it, yes.....

That's interesting

I wish someone had the factory alignment specs. With the collective wisdom here I think things would become a lot easier to understand.

I will be somewhat disappointed if there are identical or, at a minimum, Lotus doesn’t publish “recommended” track specs.

How is this stuff not known to us directly from Lotus by now... Why are we still guessing and having forum members updating us on final specification

It’ll be in the handbook, like it’s been for previous cars.

Just watching that short clip makes me think Chris Harris was driving a very different car from Jethro. I'll await the full review however.

As little as the sliding about helps me ‘review’ the car I do like watching Chris Harris and would love to be able to be even 10% of the driver he is

 

[mjw930]

Or maybe he’s just a better driver who understands what makes you smile when you drive? Seems he has no issues with the shifting or steering.

Of course it’s a different car in different conditions, that’s obvious, but he also has a different perspective about what’s important. Seems he has a lot more in common with Harry than Jethro does.

Enjoyed the clip, which has been a long time coming. The vibe seems positive, so hoping for a big thumbs up and a major endorsement. Then watch the mood in this forum shift.

 

[Leonard]

Defo not going to be a bad review. In summary he is going to say its a grown up Lotus for the modern world (which it is)

The concern though is that he’s driving a different spec car to the pre-production cars. Without knowing exactly what’s different (or if there isn’t a difference) you can’t make any dynamics comparisons

None of us are going to know until we sit in a production car and drive it ourselves. If there really are still set up differences between cars ie gear linkage adjustment etc (you would hope that isn't still a thing at lotus) then we won't know until we are sat in our own car driving off the lot

You can tell Chris Harris is not native to the UK,.......he has really good teeth !!

Surprised but ready for it:

Do Brits really have bad teeth?

Britons have poor dental health… or so goes the stereotype. Is that old adage as false as a set of dentures? Claudia Hammond investigates.

So you are saying the car has gotten worse over time? Is lotus risking a lawsuit by having the marketed product ve of different characteristics than the delivered one?
