My Lotus Elise Series 1 unleashed.
Lotus Elise S1 | "Schelten" POV Mountain Pass Drive (4K + Binaural Audio)
Point of View (POV) Drive of the mountain pass "Schelten" in Solothurn, Switzerland in my blue Lotus Elise Series 1.
With nearly 14 Km in length, an elevation of 1'051m and an average 3% grade, this pass allows a swift or cruising driving experience. On weekends it is very popular among cyclists, motorcycles as well as automobilists; especially by vintage car drivers. The track is quite narrow and hence passing crossing traffic is conscientious and overtaking cars nearly impossible. Alongside are quite a few infantry bunkers and anti tank barriers from World War II around as well.

Lotus Elise S1 | "Weissenstein" POV Mountain Pass Drive (4K + Binaural Audio)
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.2 года назад
Point of View Drive of the mountain pass "Weissenstein" in Solothurn, Switzerland in my blue Lotus Elise Series 1. With 4.5 Km yet max 22% gradient this mountain pass is one of the most steepest pass in Switzerland. Open from Spring until snowfall and only during the week days this pass is rather difficult to drive: Crossing is limited due to its narrow road, overtaking almost impossible and th...

Nice but needs more heel + toe
I guess that camera has a gimbal what a lovely road
The GoPro camera has built-in stabilization which provides already somewhat decent results.
Great video, I’m in the UK and have an S1, same colour. What a stunning road, shame about the traffic, I know how it feels!
Great Videos! I Love Lotus Elise!
Getting in and out was my primary deterrent from buying one of these many years ago. Good video on how to get in/out!
Lost your room mirror? Just me too and repaired.
Looked @ an S1 this weekend. Was gonna pass, but this vid may have changed my mind😉
One qurstion please, how tall are you?
Do you Shoot in 4:3 If i film pov i only film my roof from my car
I film 4:3 in 5.4K then crop in. I try to setup the camera between forehead/nose which makes it difficult to drive as usual. I have been inspired by Tedward who explains his setup here: ruclips.net/video/9EEWH6zf46M/видео.html
@@UnleashElise its very hard for me and ih Blocks my view :(
@@DieserLukas maybe the GoPro 11 Mini is something for you. Its slightly smaller but a but thicker.
A proper length video this time! Two Thumbs up! 👍👍
This video is a little short.
You cut this video way too short. It should be at least 15 minutes so we can enjoy the drive longer.
Please more of this stuff👍
My first series 1 Elise had a removable steering wheel which made life a lot easier
Stunning Swiss scenery dissected by brilliant British engineering 😁
Very well done video! Thanks for the ride!!
Awesome. Loved it. Superb vid. Like & Abo.
Between the camera, the sound, and of course the car and location, this is one of the most special car videos I've ever seen. Wish you carried a but mire speed, could use some more thrill, and we all know the Elise can handle it. But still. How it does not have a million views is beyond me, breathtaking
Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it and am motivated now to do more POVs in the future.
@@UnleashElise What camera did you use? The immersion is unreal. For the next hour I couldn't stop telling my wife "we need to go to Switzerland" lol
@@carscoffeeandcannabis-634 I used a GoPro Hero 10 Black for making the video. The audio was recorded with Roland CS-10. Use headphones for binaural experience. And yes indeed, Switzerland is well worth a visit.
Great video. Such a beautiful route, did the same with my Abarth last September on my way back from the Tessin.
You seem to have an awfull lot of roll and you desperatley need a sports exhaust and a bit more balls. From a 60 year old just become a grandfather tonight mechanic with 8.5 years daily driving his Azure S1. . . Have you sussed the cup holder yet ?? I probably got a few more tricks also but fair play nice road good content ..
What you think to see as body roll is actually the side-effect of the built-in camera stability feature. I could have turned it off actually but personally I like the effect.
yep you got it
Super video. An amazing smooth road twisting through beautiful scenery - just perfect for the Elise. And no traffic?! :D I am planning to take my S1 Elise on a road trip to the Alps next year and am looking for some inspiration, this might just make it onto my list. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and nicely driven.
Thanks for your feedback. I think the recipe for having no traffic here is going on a weekday + Covid + Luck. Had to try few attempts.
That looks great - I've never driven the Schelten pass. @Unleash Elise - do you live in Switzerland? I am based near Zurich.
My base is close to Solothurn city but often you find me driving in the Alps of Berne or up north on B-roads.
Thinking hard about one of these, they’re import legal for the us now
It is well worth thinking about it. But driving it is way more pleasurable. If in doubt about anything just ask.
@@UnleashElise lol I’d imagine the drive is better than daydreaming that’s for sure. I just don’t know where to look for one. None of the UK exporters I researched have had any in stock. Most people importing cars in the US are doing so from Japan so asking others isn’t of much help unfortunately
Super nice video of a super nice car, of course !
Super Video👍🏼
If you can get in without adjusting the seat position you should. Many an S1 owner has ripped his/her trousers on the door lock pin - having the seat further forward makes this less likely.
Thank you for highlighting this. Indeed it can get a bit tricky with the lock pin. As far as I remember I ripped my pants once in the 15 years so far though.
Nobody get’s this correct it seems! Never reverse yourself into an Elise! Always go in head first! Here’s how it works, put your head and torso into the cabin, place your right hand (left hand in the UK) onto the passenger seat cushion. Next lift your right foot (again left foot for UK) up and over the sill. Next, place your left hand on the sill and lift your lower body up then lower yourself into the seat, simultaneously following with your left foot up and over the sill, and you are in! This technique is far more natural and comfortable and you avoid the all too common scraping of the sill pad.
Make a video please
Remove the roof much easier, especially when 6ft and 20 stone lol
I suppose there is no "only one correct" way. Just do as you feel like. Going with head in first seem for me rather odd but if it suits you then so shall it be.
wow and I thought the Elise S2 was crazy. Thats insane.
Well, that saves me the anguish over whether to buy one or not. I am not limber enough to own that car.
If they didn't make the high sills so high, it would be easy to get in and out of the Elise. Maybe, Lotus enjoy torturing their customers.
Buy a golf GTI
Thing is though, once you drop in and those sills 'lock' you in, you feel as close to being in a real racing car as can be. Your heartbeat races and yet you have not even turned the ignition key yet.
If you are concerned about just getting in and out of an Elise. Then I can say with some certainty, that a Lotus is not for you.
That is right.. ja ja
This is an awesome car. Lotus is such an underrated car.
Thanks for posting, that’s the most elegant technique! I have taken your lead, not quite supple or strong enough yet but going in the right direction 👍
Good technique
Switzerland at its best :)
With the roof on, I generally sit on the sill, slide/fall backwards into the seat and then bring both legs over and into the car. Its quick and faff free. But I'm also not particularly tall. Hence owning a Lotus! :)
That is a good variation as well. I am just afraid of scratching something when you slide/fall from the sill into the seat that way.
@@UnleashElise My sill is pretty worn and needs leather repairs, so not a worry at the moment. But when I get it fixed later this year, that is a good thing to pay attention to.
@@thelittlelotus Exchanging the worn sill protectors boost the appearance tremendously and I can highly recommend doing it when they are worn. Apart from OEM and aftermarket leather sill protectors you can also go to your local upholstery workshop. Though the latter may deliver you more decent quality as well as more variations on leather/texture/color/... they are likely also to be 5 to 10 times more expensive than the aftermarket option. I went with the standard aftermarket option when I exchanged mine and am still very happy.
This is the most graceful way I ever saw to get in
Don't pull/push the "a column" some heavy people car brake the glass. I'm heavier and tried to avoid to slide and rub the car because with time everything is fucked, i'm drinving it for work comute ;)
Looks epic one day I need to bring my Azure blue S1 111s to these roads.
It is a wonderful piece of proper tarmac - Highly recommended. I will soon upload the drive of the northern side.
