You have a beautiful car but you are no race driver. Notice smoke from the front drivers wheel from locking up the brakes going up the hill just after the start. I nearly bought a Lotus 30 years ago. Even wired the guy $1,000 to get started but I was out of state and the seller found someone local so he didn't have to ship it. What a let down. I also almost bought a Lotus 11 for a mere $900.00 but the guy ahead of us, said he was definitely buying it but being 6ft 3 inches, he couldn't fit as the 11 is quite small so I missed that one as well. Thanks for sharing your 30. and they never had 500hp, in the day, with only a 289 Ford engine so yours is even more of a handful than the one Jimmy drove. Too bad Colin had just too many other race cars he was developing in F1 and Indy and the the 30 kind of got pushed to the curb
507 HP pushing a car at 487 kg. A cannonball indeed.
Thanks for keeping my name on the side of the car. It was a beast..
Thanks for posting this video, this is a beautifully preserved car and a track day is the perfect use to enjoy it without a lot of risk.
BRILLIANT
Lotus 30 power
05:12 what the heck happened at the front left wheel arch 😳😳😳?
my guess is suspension bottoms out at Eau Rouge, you can see it each lap. Gforces are immense at Eau Rouge.
