Engine rebuild finished

15 August 2022
Since the first four races of the season ended with two podiums and two DNFs, it's necessary to improve the reliability of the Lotus Europa. To be on the safe side, the Renault 807 engine underwent a complete rebuild. This was originally planned for the winter, but had to be scheduled earlier due to the problems at Spa-Francorchamps. In addition, several electrical components were replaced.

1st Place and DNF at Spa-Francorchamps

27 June 2022
The starting position was quite bad due to a braking issue in qualifying. In race 1 we managed to finish first in class, eventhough we had trouble with loss of coolant. Weather conditions for race 2 were difficult to predict and we went for rain tires, but the track dried fast. We tried to finish without a tire change, but the alternator impeller collapsed and cut an ignition cable, which ment DNF in race 2.

First Podium in BELCAR Historic Cup

16 May 2022
The first round of BELCAR Historic Cup 2022 brought us a 2nd place in race 1. It was very close as we crossed the finish line only two seconds behind the winner. In race 2 the Lotus Europa lost power in the last corner of the last lap due to a fuel pump issue. Unfortunately, we didn't score any points for race 2, as we didn't cross the finish line.

Test Session at Circuit Zolder

22 April 2022

After a seven months winter break, we were able to run a test session at Circuit Zolder yesterday. This is also the venue for the first round of the season, thus the perfect opportunity to evaluate the preparations. The Lotus Europa completed 34 laps and set a new personal best lap time of 1:59 minutes. Now there is no obstacle left in our way for the start of the season. 

Preparations for Season 2022 finished

12 March 2022
Over the winter the Lotus Europa was improved in several areas. The biggest step forward should be the new wheel and tyre combination, which is intended to bring a lot more grip. The roll-out took place today. Now, we are looking forward to the test session at Circuit Zolder on April 21st.
