    Great job, you acquitted yourself quite well. Lovely little track and so fortunate you got to run it in an Evora no less, lucky you!

    Whoa! I've owned this exact car for the past 2.5 years I purchased it from Kyler after tracking it in a session at the NYST with his group! Pretty cool you've driven it now it's even more special to me 😎. I just recently picked up a Lotus 3-Eleven to go along with it.

      Kyler is a great guy! Driving this was an amazing experience. The US Lotus community is so welcoming

    It's not very hard to take an Evora on track in the UK. Looking forward to another one next week. Track looks great, what a treat.

      An ideal track for any Lotus this one. Unfortunately for me, I am surrounded by MSV tracks, who are definitely not Evora friendly. I don't know how you find the GT430 but although it measured similar numbers, my 400 sounds quite a bit louder than James' Exige 430 with the Titanium pipes. Bassier, but again not sure it makes a difference for track.
      I also found that US spec 400s have an extra catalytic converter and are noticeably quieter than the European cars.

      Where there's a will, there's a track... might cost a bit more but it's worth it. Many seem to get immediately anxious about driving on a track but it's a massively safer place to drive fast than the road.

      Ha I know what you mean, I've seen people who are absolute hooligans on the road turn into the most timid and nervous track drivers. There's more track content coming from the channel including more Lotus stuff from a very famous track.
      Where are you going with the GT430 next? I know you've done Combe a few times, Silverstone should be alright for it too I think.

    Certainly it's a pretty track - pretty lethal too because of those trees. I doubt the RAC MSA would grant it a competition licence.

    • @JayEmmOnCars

      I wouldn't fancy having an accident there, but I can say that of a lot of tracks.

    Not sure you need to wait for a written invitation before passing other cars...

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  6 років тому

      You need to wait for a point by. Track etiquette

    • @resnonverba137
      @resnonverba137 6 років тому

      On a long and very wide straight... when the other car is barely moving? We British tend to be commendably polite but there is a limit.

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  6 років тому

      There is no excuse for going by without permission. If they haven't pointed you past I can't help but think they haven't seen you, and in that case you don't wanna be surprising someone by passing them.
      This was pretty much the only time I got stuck in "traffic" on this track day

    • @resnonverba137
      @resnonverba137 6 років тому

      I'm sure you're right. Just as well he did eventually remember to 'point you by' otherwise you'd probably still be behind him now :)

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  6 років тому

      Yup. Bear in mind I was in the "slow" group, the drivers are generally more inexperienced

    Subaru Crosstrek is not an automatic. It is a CVT.

    Great film but it is missing your into and end ‘titles’ which add a really professional feel to your content.

    • @JayEmmOnCars

      Yes there wasn't an easy way to integrate them i was happy with, but they will return

      MrKeyboardCommando lol however is it a noble deed to thrash a kind gentle man who has loaned you his pride and joy🤷🏽‍♂️ Or is a wise man that drives another mans car because they don’t want to destroy there own 🤣

      For a new track in a car that isn’t yours this was really OK. He overtook people for Pete’s sake!

      @@harald.370 The track doesn't change every time you do a lap, and if it's not his car, what's the problem❓With 400hp under his right hoof, I should hope he overtook people‼️ You forgot to mention the convoy he was leading.
