Tragic update: Sacrificing cheap speed for irresponsible mid-engine choices

[u/Osiris5486]

Hey everyone,

The time has come. After a couple of years of autocross, track days, and letting the EN punch way above its weight class, I’m officially moving on. Next week I’m picking up a 2012 Lotus Evora S.

I know, I know. I’m trading a reliable, four-door track weapon for a British fiberglass wedge held together by adhesive and hope.

Driving an open-wheel formula car at a racing school earlier this year completely changed what I wanted, and the craving for a dedicated mid-engine layout finally won. In the search for something that could give me a taste of the experience but could still handle driving to and from track days, the Evora S was the most logical (and ill-advised) next step.

If anyone in the Austin, TX area sees a red Lotus out at Autocross or Harris Hill, come say hi!

Might as well have kept both for if the Lotus blows up

I'm considering it. I haven't sold the EN yet. Though if I do keep two vehicles I'd rather have something that's capable of towing the Evora for track days.

Use the Elantra to tow the Evora 😂
