My ride in a Lotus Exige at Spa Francorchamps
Whoooooooot - what a ride!
With high speed at a formula one race track.
A birthday present with high speed
Hey Hive Family
some days ago I had so much fun
joining as a Co-driver
Lotus Track day in Spa
So many cool cars at the race track. Have a look at all the different cars, the nice colors and different size.
ELISE - EXIGE - EVORA - EMIRA - EVIJA
There are so many different models available and I never know about this before visiting this event.
Spa FRANCORCHAMPS
A really nice race track close to Aachen and well known for the Formula 1 and other big events.
Spa, this is one of the most challenging race tracks in the world, mainly due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature. It hosts the Belgian GP, the 1000km sportscar race, the famous 24 hours and many other great event...
The original 14km lay out was first used in 1922, but after a series of incident filled races, it had to be revised. In 1979 the circuit was shortened to 7km. It still features the unpredictable weather, you can start a lap in the dry, get soaking wet halfway around the lap, and be dry again as you cross start/finish.

My Taxi at the track
With this lovely machine and with a semi pro driver, I enjoyed some hours and it is really exhausting, even as a co-driver.
Have a great day everybody

Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Wow ! cool cars 🤩
Thanks for sharing sir.
You are welcome and here a !BEER for you
Hell yes! This looks awesome dude. I bet you did have a blast. There is a local here they had a brand new yellow Evora GT. It’s a mean Lotus. I want to drive one!
It is such a blast pushed into the seat and kicked from left to right within that cool car.
Lotus makes a true drivers car.
Being taken around a track at speed would probably scare me. A friend used to have an Elise and I did get a ride on the road in that. Those cars are not easy to get in and out of. That friend had a few fast cars and did some track days. I just tend to have boring cars, but I know some people obsess over speed. Mind you, I did have some motorbikes in the past that went quite quick.
Have fun.
Yeah, climbing into this nearly ground connected vehicle took me some time. Same the other way.
But it was fun and I have a lot respect to the drivers - there is some more video to come, whenever I have the time for cutting.
Spa war schon immer eine meiner Lieblingstrecken, in diversen Rennsimulationen. Schwierig, aber nicht zu schwierig, und noch eine Rennstrecke der alten Tradition, nicht so wie die neuen Mickey Maus Strecken in der heutigen F1. Besonders die Eau Rouge ist schon was besonderes. Leider hat sie auch manch einem das Leben gekostet, der meinte, er hätte sie gemeistert. Ich lupfe da lieber etwas, statt abzufliegen.
Probleme hab ich eigentlich hauptsächlich an der Chicane vor der Boxeneinfahrt, die ist immer mein Feind gewesen. Ist echt schwer dort passend zu bremsen.
Die heutigen Lotuse find ich nicht so toll. Sehen gut aus, aber sonst... Da wär mir ein Audi TT oder Porsche lieber. Was anderes ist der Lotus, den ich ich gern in Spa fahre: der 84er Lotus F1 Turbo. Das gute ist an den Simulationen, das der Motor (1500ccm/gut1000PS) länger als 3 Runden hält, anders als damals in echt. Und das Ding geht ab als stünde ihm der Arsch in Flammen! :)
Die "Eau Rounge" habe ich zuerst auch völlig unterschätzt.
Ja, die ist schon haarig. Man kommt ja normal mit Volldampf da an, und mit dem richtigen Auto soll man dann auf dem Gas bleiben - aber das klappt nicht immer. Bremsen muß man meist nicht, etwas lupfen reicht meistens. Und die richtige Linie ist natürlich das wichtigste. Wenn das nicht paßt, kanns schwer ins Auge gehen. Anfang des Jahres ist noch ein ganz junger Fahrer dort umgekommen.
Mit was für einer App / Anwendung fährst Du denn. SIM-Racing ist doch dazu der Fachbegriff oder?
In dem Fall ist das ProjectCars2, das hat die beste Fahrphysik wie ich finde. Ich hab aber noch einige andere, für Rally, Nascar, Truck Racing, neue F1 usw. Ich mache das schon fast 30 Jahre. Das erste Lenkrad/Pedale hab ich selbst gebaut - zu kaufen gab es damals noch keins. Hat sich viel getan seither... :)
I'd love to do that as well :D
Imagine how fun it must be to be able to have this track for yourself only one day. I am sure that the adrenaline is so high , I would totally try this as a co-pilot
We had it for the day with just that overlooking amount of cars - it was awesome
I'm sure you had a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing your story.
;-) ;-) ;-) 😀
Whoa! Thanks for sharing that's pretty rad.
Hell yeah! What a ride you had there! Not long time ago I went to an exhibition of classic cars and it still brings a smile on my face when I remember it. I wish I had memories driving one too!
Ach du Meinegüte, hätt ja gar nicht gedacht, dass der gute Detlev sooo einer ist 😄 Sieht nach viel Spass auch, gönn dir mein Lieber 😊
