Well, normally I change gears when the dots are all lighten. So, it's because of that, that I said that he was not using all the juice!

How did the car sound and look handelingwise from the outsid, you that saw it in Belgium?

What did Sousa say after the rally about driving it in half-anger, and the potential he feels it has?

The Lotus Exige has finally been homologated! It can thus definitely start at the Madeira Rally.

Looking forward to see the performance of the car and hope more will follow.

Is Sousa a good development driver, or are there other reasons for choosing him to be lead driver for the Lotus Team?

Nice video of Lotus tests before Madaira. I like it definitely more than any modern FWD car and I hope someone will use it in the IRC 2WD cup.

Here is a report from Lotus on their first rally, with lots of videos: EUROPEAN RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP - RALI VINHO DA MADEIRA | Lotus Cars

Interestingly, they say that there was an electronic problem already on SS2, which affected the times. As they finished that SS 10th, behind most N4 cars, there is some hope that the R-GT is actually faster than N4 - once they sorted out the little problems....

The next step is a 4-day test session in Italy at the end of August.

Sousa and his Lotus will participate in the Rally Príncipe de Asturias, 13-16 September, the 9th round of the ERC.

If the FIA isn't expecting R-GT cars to make regular appearances in 2013, what happens if Lotus enter the WRC on a regular basis? Would they be in competition with the WRC cars? Because if nobody makes a regular appearance, there's not much point to it.
