Lotus Esprit V8 SE. In 1997, Lotus introduced the Esprit V8. This replaced the previous Esprit's 2.2 litre 4 cylinder engine. The real difference between the V8 and the previous S4 lies behind the seats where the 3.5 litre 350HP Twin Turbo engine breathes.

The track. Tokyo R246 II. Race round the streets of Tokyo. Fast straights lead into a good mix of corners where concentration and precision driving is required. 

The Challenge. Take the Lotus Esprit V8 SE to the Polyphony Cup race at Tokyo R246 II and drive it to the end of the 20 lap race as fast as you can.

Qualifying - No qualifying is allowed. You must start from the back of the grid.

Allowed modifications - Tyres (you choose), ASM & TCS (you choose), Oil change. Pit stop strategy is up to you.  Car can be broken in (and will be by the time you've finished!)

Rules - As the races are over 20 laps, occasional wall hits will be allowed as long as they are not deliberate and/or excessive (Any more than 4 hits in the same spot is excessive). I realise that we are human beings (well, some of us are!) and mistakes will be tolerated. Deliberate wall hits will not be tolerated and you will be disqualified. Race Clean.

Disputes - If you have a problem with someone's time, then notify me via PM/email. Replays will have to be produced if your time is the subject of a dispute. If you do not have a replay device, then you will have to get your memory card to someone that does and your time will not count until it has been verified.

Replays - Not required unless there is a dispute (see above). If you have a Shark/Xport, you can send your replay to daan@davidanderson.org.uk. All replays will be accepted if you can supply one.

AI - The aI is stupid (yes, really!) and will hit you! AI hitting you is OK. Do not deliberately ram them and use them as brakes. Do not go up their insides at a corner to help you round that corner. Door rubbing, side to side contact on the straights is OK.

Do not discuss lap or race times in the forums, but feel free to discuss T2 times.

The challenge starts now and the deadline for times is 11am GMT on Sunday 14th March. 

PM or email me at daan@davidanderson.org.uk with your total race time, best lap, tyres used and pit strategy, include with your submission whether you use DS2 or wheel and if you are PAL or NTSC.

I will maintain a leaderboard minus times. This means that you can see where you are in relation to others without knowing how far ahead (or behind!) you are. This will give you the opportunity to improve your position to try and catch the guy, or gal, in front of you.
