It's actually a funny story... The Lotus driver was one of the instructors for the novice group running after me who moderated the drivers meeting and conducted the classes for the NEWBIES.
Midway through the day I asked him if he wanted to trade paint and he scoffed at me, bragging that his Lotus was outfitted with Ohlin coilovers and a bunch of other aftermarket tricks and he would smoke me... After a few more prodding's I convinced him to run with me...
You see the result in the video...
He's a good driver and had the line down PAT. So, I'm amazed that I so easily stayed with him and passed him on many of the straights... I really wasn't pushing the Crossfire at all...I guess I have my car pretty well dialed-in...
