Elan @ Le Mans
Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:45 pm
Hi All,
Firstly, I'm a bit Lotus fan... Love the Type 14 Elites, and Elans and pretty much all of Champans open wheelers.
Secondly, I'm doing some research for a Sim Racing Mod called Historic GT & Touring Cars for the sim rFactor (and for my own knowledge and benefit of course!)
If you havent tried it, you should, its incredibly realistic, and a cheap form of motorsport for those who cant afford to track their cars.
Here's a couple of screenshots from the sim with some Elans from our Mod racing around Australia's Oran Park (This track was laser scanned and GPS accurated for more realism )

Now, I'm after any and all information on famous Lotus Elans for an update to the mod.
I'm particularly keen to hear about Elans that raced Le Mans, or any other big endurance events etc.
Any photo's, drivers names, specific car specs, and 1-off modifications done to them, finishing positions, years raced etc etc would be greatly appreciated.
Could be a good opportunity for everyone to pool their knowledge!
Thanks!
