What tires do you use?
First corner - wow
Amazing!
Wow! this seems such a fun car hope u can fix the engine issue.🙏
Well done Rob! We all had the seal sooner or later :D welcome to the club :P
Still more power than my Oem cup260 ,managed a 2•48 in march with lot days
I can recommend a dyno. Stock 260 often have less power so most likely you have around 235-240hp. Also 2:48 is really fast for a stock Exige S2.
@@steffenkawa8374 it was ideal day for the cup,no heat soak because 10 degrees outside,in summer I loose 15/20 km/h at kemmel . Chargecooler could be an option but I want to keep the car as stock as possible due to the value of the car .
Still very fast in the corners. I still lack the control to play with the rear like that. You lifted the gas on purpose to position the car for earlier acceleration. Most likely you had about 220-230hp. My stock exige s2 has the same straight line speed then yours with the power loss🤣
Amazing footwork
gut gefahren!
Wow eine echt Hammer Zeit. Darf ich fragen, welche Reifen du benutzt?
Nice driving, I really enjoyed the complete video! Those direction changes and ultra late braking points 🤤. And the fact that you can go forever with one set of tires and brakes...
What oil pan are you using, I see you're cornering very hard on right hand turns and don't suffer from oil starvation
I have a lightweight baffled oil pan (if I remember correctly it’s the Moroso one)
ENGINE SIZE ?
Just the stock 1.8 L
What best time did you achieve there ?
My best time at this track/layout with the Lotus was a 1:35.47
so u have the komo tec kt280 kit?
Nice video!
Top driver, top car!!!!’
Lovely Driving, very precise and tidy 🤗
was watching intently on a 32 inch screen with headphones ... that fast-forward made me nearly jump out of my seat! Great laps.
awesome to watch david vs goliath kind of moment :D
Hey man quick question how does heal toe down shifting feel in your viper gts and is there anything you'd change with the stock pedals?
Hey Rob, what happened to your GT3? We had an encounter in Spa, remember? 😅 Lotus is also a cool car! Maybe we see each other this season again. I'm in AdR in March 😉
I remember! I still have the GT3 as well, it's currently getting some much needed love to prepare it for the upcoming season. I won't be at AdR in March, but I hope you have a nice trackday!
Awsome driving 😎!!
Thanks!
Best in car track footage on yt. Not sure if it's just a great camera of the FOV or what, but the sensation of speed is the best I've seen and the angle is so immersive! Great driving helps too! :) btw: the captions are great and very funny!
Only just seen this now, but what a great vid! Loved the captions. The amount of time the S2 steals back on corner entry is borderline criminal! Great stuff.
Amazing - The setup of the car is just spot on! You can tell in corner entries with the slight oversteer - Great driving!
Fun to watch another Exige owner from other parts of the world using their car for how it shines the most! Keep safe out there!
The track looks so much fun. Short and sweet
Also a really save track. You only have 1 high speed corner which can get a bit tricky at higher speeds
great driving
Sehr geil wie der getunte 997 Turbo abzieht auf der Geraden 🥳🤩
Hammer Video Rob👌
Awesome vibes, Rob! Excellent (and very respectful) driving from you. Less so from the Audi driver at the end… Having to outbrake a car which is only fast on the straights is not ideal on a trackday… but you got that neatly!
Thanks! There will always be drivers like the Audi driver at trackdays. Either through inexperience or through incompetence they completely forget about the etiquette, even when it is specifically called out during the morning driver briefing. As an experienced driver I know this is part of signing up for such "open class" trackdays, maybe one day I will graduate into actual racing and hopefully have more experienced drivers around me at such events :)
These are almost hypnotic to watch, amazing! l’Anneau Du Rhin seems like a really nice track too. I’ll have to head over there one day.
Wonderful reving and sound and good drive
J'adore ton style de pilotage, c'est très sympathique à regarder👍
Brilliant!! Keep them coming!! 👍
Franchement le set up de la lotus a vraiment l'air pas mal, super pilotage by the way👍
Lotus or Porsche ?
Lotus. Hard choice, but Lotus
Better to drive or faster ?
Nice Drive!🎉 What size of wheel rim&offset do you use? What is your tire??
Ah ouais tout de même !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼
Great car mate! 2zz right? Any problems repairs etc??
Correct 2ZZ. Never had any issues, the engine seems pretty bullet-proof!
@RobSpoel 👌 it's really great engine mate! You have baffled oil pan right mate?
@@DimoS... A baffeld pan is recommend or an oil catch tank. The later exige S2 models have an oil catch tank from factory. I heard that the 1ZZ Pan also fits and it has some baffels. Or you can buy a moroso oil pan.
Assuming this car has ceramics by the squeals I can hear
Running regular steel rotors with Endless ME22 pads. I'm upgrading to slotted steel rotors (instead of drilled OEM steel rotors now) soon.
Did you end up with a lithium battery if so what type suits? Also the lighter flywheel worth it?
I have a LithiumNext TRACK60 battery. Flywheel is still the stock part!
Nice seeing the car setup right - kept loose - only way to go fast in an Exige is to have them in a knife edge. Great driving, thanks for sharing.
I like how you sometimes rev match when not applying braking but whilst still engine braking. I do that a lot
@@RobSpoel 👍🏻 makes sense mate
@@RobSpoel that's what makes it so hard to learn for me :P
@@RobSpoel I have a Cayman S 987.1 and the pedal box is identical. I agree that heel-toe is tricky to achieve. On a daily basis (soft braking) I use toe-toe braking: half top-foot on brake, the other half top-foot on gaz. That's a lot easier and intuitive for my POV. But you need larger shoes, like sneakers. But you're right, on hard braking I think heel-toe is more efficient, because the brake pedal is way more at the bottom. But that's not easy to switch technic from one corner to the next one 😅 But with toe-toe technic you can give a lot more gaz that you are able to do in the video on soft/average braking
1:46 just looks like a missed shift. Have you checked engine and transmission mounts? Upgraded engine mounts solved this problem in my MX5
Yeah just bumped into the gate rather than slotting the gear in. It happened because I was distracted simultaneously thinking about wether or not I could safely pass the car in front of Pouhon (i.e. if I could make it in front of them before their steer-in point). In general I don't often have issues with the precision required in the S2 shifter. I'd rather not put stiffer engine mounts to avoid even more cabin noise. I have some improved shifter cables and a strengthening bracket for the shifter on order that I will install next.
if u can share only one tip on how to drive exige fast, what is it?
@@RobSpoel tq vm
Very nice. Rear end looks a bit loose under braking. Might be time to rebuild the diff.
Good spot. The car will be getting a whole new LSD in a few weeks to improve traction out of certain corners and hopefully alleviate the braking instability.
The track looks so fun to drive
