Good driving video that demonstrates the high capabilities of the Emira despite its relatively lower HP by today’s standards. An 8-minute (public) lap is very respectable. Well done!
What a fantastic driving 👏👏👏 congratulations! There are some guys at RUclips that drive Emira at Nurburgring and say... "Emira is a little insecure at some short curves", or "Lotus created a GT car instead of a track car"..."there is no power at the 4th shift"...etc! They should watch you driving Emira this way, it's a fantastic car, no doubts.
Fellow Emira owner here! Do you think that the aftermarket brake pads cause too much wear on the brake disc? Would you recommend a big brake kit? If so, what brand and model? Love your videos and already your subscriber btw
@dale1979325 thanks, the discs do seem to be wearing quicker than I'd like with micro cracks around the drilled holes but I don't think it needs a big brake kit so I'm looking to find alternative discs without the drilled holes.
@user-jx3vk9xy4d cheers, I use Harry's Lap Timer app on my phone to record and an external GPS sensor. Can also add an OBD Reader to add engine data but I don't always connect it, would definitely recommend the app!
Fantastic! Just got mine in an automatic with paddle shifters, the launch control isn't functioning, Is it because it has 3 miles on it? Will it work after a certain mileage or do I have to change something? Anyone know the answer?
@@jp__fox For sure a great achievement! I was no-where near that in my 30 year old Esprit! I'd be closer in my Exige V6, but I don't know the track anywhere near as well as you :)
@Jackettc not to mention the bit of caution you'd take with your own car. I wonder how a professional driver with a Lotus or team owned emira will go.
@djinnhard1645 yeah I've done over 10k in it now, do you mean regular costs to run or specifically how much it costs to run on track in terms of consumables?

I remember when the Europa was a big deal when it pulled 1G on the skid pad. Impressive car and drive
Certainly a few places you were held up, car sounds epic.

@ACE1972 cheers, glad you enjoyed the video! I'm loving the car, it's a great balance between road and track, more videos coming soon 😁

@@jp__foxYes, non-drilled is definitely better than drilled
Great lap. What camera/metrics setup do you have?

@agooberss ah nice, hope you're enjoying the car? I'm not sure about launch control as it's not an option with the manual.
Yes, you need to change something.... change the auto to a manual. Haha
Good lap, and quick considering the weight disadvantage it has over say an Exige V6. Was it on Cup 2's?
Thanks, I was pleased to sneak under the 8 minute mark, yeah it's on Cup 2's

@mattyb1624 yes I was very much aware of the fact I need to drive it home! 😁
Could you make some videos about maintenance and costs?

@@jp__fox yes everything would be great
Is this stock power? Or Komotec 475?
@@tigamilla2594 stock power, the only thing I've changed is the brake pads 👍
@@jp__fox thanks mate, impressive little machine. Hopefully see you at Brands one of these days 😎
nice lap
any mods?
@@nbaumg cheers, the only thing I've changed is brake pads 👍
@jp__fox Not that important on the Ring though timewise.
Do you have the race or tour spec?
