Japan - 2025/12/14 LOTUS 77th Anniversary Track Day (LOTUS 77周年を記念した特別なトラックデイ)

[virtualmacho]

Footage from the "Emira Exclusive Lap" (exhibition laps), following @tarta around the course. How many Emiras were there? I forgot to count, as the scheduling was so tight that I wasn't even able to store my helmet correctly

Footage from the "Performance Challenge Laps" of a whopping total of 8 cars, of which 3 were Emiras. I hate rain. And fog. And rivers in the corners.


Same dull video with "Racechrono Pro" overlay.

Today we had a really great FISCO - LOTUS 77 on Dec 14, 2025, and here are some photos to prove it:

I know it was wet, but a boat seems a tad extreme

But it clearly said "Powered by Cosworth" on the boat. Does this mean Suzuki is a subcontracting supplier to Cosworth

I know that big lump of yellow metal at the front is a Lotus, but I cant get beyond the feeling, that it doesnt belong in that line up

AIで動画を作りました。EMIRAの横を和装の女性が歩いている動画です。簡単です。

The yellow one and the grey on on the other side were just for display. Not even a test drive. They way the event was planned and run by the new "Lotus Japan" company is not confidence instilling. They could have used the event as an opportunity to have owners of "legacy" Lotus vehicles to try out the EVs on track, and perhaps make a sale or two, but I saw no Sales activity.

Really disappointing planning. But I would go again just to drive on the track and mingle with fellow Lotus owners.

True british weather for the occasion

Just click on the profile name and you can easily find this reel from there.
