Default Re: Here' something different

I think I remember now, Top Gear hasn't put the Ultima around the track but Ultima did themselves. Something to do with all cars TopGear put round have to be able to go over speed humps without problems.


There was a Lotus Elise kicking around with a Flat plane crank LT5 in it (part of their Le Mans development however I believe the rules changed and the factory didn't continue the project. Although the LT5 Lotus did race in a privet team without much success) however the owner didn't realise what it was and put a stock engine back in and sold the LT5 to Jeal for peanuts. Think I've got some pics somewhere, I'll see if I can find them. If I remember right it hung in the chassis.
