  • Chapman Report
    The Chapman Report Published by the Golden Gate Lotus Club www.gglotus.org April 2006 Major Breakthrough In Racing Portapoddies editor Finally, while sitting on the portapoddy and listening to the cars on the track going through the gears, you can shift along with them until you’re able to return to trackside. Yes, this was found and photographed at the Goodwood Revival races, but we can only hope that this design will be seen at our local tracks in the future. I, myself, was able to shift all the way up to fourth......doesn’t appear to have a 5th or 6th gear.....maybe in the next rev. Traction control whould be added too, I believe, knowing the potential for slippery floor conditions in these units. Anyway, this does symbolize a technological break- through that can only hint at the possibilities that we may see in the future. As Nissan says: “SHIFT”. “Europa”, A Fake In Lotus History Most of us just take for granted that the Europa is a true Lotus car. Well, we’ve been dupped for all of these years by an unscruptulous band of con artists that are trying to raise the value of this simple kit car created and made at the University of Northern South Dakota. Do you really believe that the car below, at’stated’ concourse level, is a true Lotus. April Meeting Friday, April 21st, 7:30 PM Host: Carol & Scott Whitman’s I began to research this after seeing GGLC events where no ‘Europas’ would show up, even though they were listed as the most owned model of the Lotus cars next page page 2 Europa Fakes continued Calendar What I found was that all of the April 21 GGLC Meeting See Page 1 Europas I could find looked more like old kit cars, half finished, than a high April 22 Autocross Marina Airport quality manufactured Lotus car.

  • The New Lotus Europa S - ‘Business Class by Lotus’
    E S Lotus Cars 06 December 2005 NEWS RELEASE Page 1 of 2 A The New Lotus Europa S - ‘Business Class by Lotus’ The new Lotus Europa S, a Grand Tourer (GT) inspired two-seater will provide Lotus customers E with a spectacular sportscar with significantly enhanced levels of touring and cruising capability. It will provide drivers with higher levels of practicality and refinement to complement the simplicity of the Lotus Elise and Exige models. L The Lotus Europa S follows the core Lotus philosophy of performance through light weight enabling this refined and very high performing GT car to weigh just 995 kg. This low weight has been obtained through the clever use of advanced and high tech materials including an extruded E and bonded aluminium chassis, composite body panels and a very advanced composite energy absorbing front crash structure. When compared to the award winning Lotus Elise, the Europa S has a larger boot / luggage R compartment and easier cabin access, resulting from lower chassis sides and a higher roof line. Coupled with luxuries such as full leather interior, driver and passenger airbags and carpets all as standard, Lotus has created a “Business Class” driving experience. However, the Europa S is not a derivative of the Elise or the Exige and has been allocated a S separate Lotus type number of Type 121 - the Elise and Exige are both Type 111. The new mid-engined coupe will deliver high levels of performance from a high torque (263 Nm or 194 lbft at 4200 rpm) 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 149 kW (200 hp or 203 PS) at 5400rpm.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
