Having done both years, all I can say is that it's been great fun and very rewarding. There's a real sense of competition without the bumper to bumper racing that some might not want to expose their cars to. I average about 30-40 laps per event with 7 potential point scoring laps (6 qualifying and 1 final)

For me, this moved my driving to a whole new level. It is amazing how, without the traffic, you can up your commitment and transform your lap times.

Don't be put off by the regs - you simply compete on a 'power to weight' ratio. For scrutineering purposes, the car needs to comply with one of the MSA sprint classes.

As a taste, here's my final run from July this year. The out lap is all about getting tyres and brakes hot before maximising speed over the line and the flying lap itself.

I'm interested but as usual time is the enemy, I'd say 50:50 at best.

As a very rough calculation I assume it would be safely in class C (see below)?
and 'Road-Going Specialist Production = Limited production unmodified road cars (S11)'?

Ali Crozier
Lotus 2-eleven
260bhp/ton


260 bhp
15% drivetrain losses
750 kg weight inc. half tank fuel
100 kg driver

221 bhp power at wheels
850 kg total weight
260 power to weight per SLS

sounds near enough right Ali....

Power train losses of 15% were closer to those seen by 4wd cars, so maybe use a 12% estimate. Who knows what will be closer until its tested/certified though :)

12% would give ~230whp assuming the power is as per Lotus states.

so ~270 whp/tonne - right on the edge of C and B. Eat a couple of pies in the morning and slot into C :P

I cant see a problem with the 2-11, but maybe check with Renny (scrutineer@superlapscotland.co.uk) to make sure there are no surprises.

:damnfunny No way Ali, are you planning on putting on 20kgs over Xmas?! :lol:

I was working mine out again as I'd still like to give it a go. 193 WHP (assuming 12% loss), 880kg car plus 90kg driver still gets me in class D at 200 whp/ton. 8) Probably slightly less than this given the aircon and carpets will mean it's probably heavier than the lower estimate.

Probably conservative (I'm 89kg dry weight), suited and booted plus Helmet and HANS...

You'll be more than 90kg with your lead boots? ;)
(and yeah, I'd be very surprised if yours only weighs 880kg)

I think the book weight on the Touring is 916kgs so probably slightly more than that.

I'm more than 90kgs in my birthday suit so no argument there. :lol: :lol:

At this rate I might make Class E. :oops:

Yep, who knows what it would actually make on the rollers.
Just ballpark and it would be whatever it is...and whatever class. :thumbsup

Planning on doing as many rounds as I am home for with the new car. It will all be down to dates of the events and my schedule.

1100kg(ish) + 85kg =1185kg
345bhp (published) = 310whp = 260bhp/tonne

Are you thinking of entering a Scottish Elise's team?

really would like to give this a go but cost and work schedule probably would get in the way, how far in advance do you need to book for single event?
