The group led by Mark McMahon with Armando Trentini as cause car owner and advisor, invested two days this weeks time getting acquainted with it on the tattered side at Lotus Head office.

The website and gear box of the GT4 Enduro are taken over to the GTC, but the car has been on a diet. Carbon-fibre gates, top and website protect have changed fibreglass sections, and Plexiglass swithces the ms windows to be able to decrease yet more bodyweight off what is already a very lighting car. At 1,130-1,140kg, based on client requirements, the GTC is 30kg brighter than the Enduro.
It's not all take-away. Grip management and BOSCH racing Anti-Lock Stopping system system have been included to boost power shipping and braking management. With Britain being particularly soaked for the last 30 days, serious examining of the GTC has taken place in the wet where the vehicle's brilliant traction management and ABS have come to the front. A specified evaluation test will be performed soon, but already it has become quicker than the last progress.
The tires and car tyres are greater which not only gives the car more hold through the shapes, the top side and back tires increase to 18x10Js and 12Js respectively, mated to 27/65-18 car tyres at the top side and 30/65-18s at the back..
In purchase to provide the greater tires, flared archways have been fixed, which provide car a more competitive outline.
Its 4-litre V6 is constantly push out 450bhp and 460Nm of twisting, attached to an XTRAC six-speed successive paddle-shift gear box.
As well as the MSA Stamina Sequence and Grand-Am GTC (undergoing homologation), the car is qualified for the English GT Tournament, VdeV Sequence, Nederlander Supercar, and CREVENTIC Stamina Competitions, such as the Dubai 24 Time and the 12 Time of Bathurst. (All topic to confirmation)
Louis Kerr, mature motorsport professional, Team Lotus: "The GTC is quicker than the GT4 Enduro even though the powertrain continues to be the same. We've handled to decrease the bodyweight, and included ABS and grip management. Higher tires mean clients now have a much greater stage of grip and choice of car tyres they can use, the flared rim archways provide this, which gives the car its visible description and creates it look more muscle without restricting the aerodynamic."
Claudio Berro, manager of Lotus Racing: "The Evora's progression and a front-row rushing car is reaching its efficiency objectives and the GTC is an progress of a car that has already taken benefits on the monitor – the GT4 Enduro. Last 30 days Group Bullrun took success at Silverstone in the Britcar stamina tournament with a GT4 Enduro that tips from GTC progression areas, and the crew's update will be accomplished in May when there's an appropriate lull in their rushing routine. The vehicle's weight-saving and enhanced hold and stopping capabilities should help improve the gap between them and the groups following them in the tournament. We're happy to welcome McMahon Raceworks to Lotus possession and will offer them with a car tailored to US rushing guidelines, and look ahead to seeing the GTC create its marque in Grand-Am."
