Description:

Started as a very tidy 1999 Elise owned by my father from 3k miles which has proved to be reliable and competitive since it first entered the Elise Trophy (www.elisetrophy.com) in 2007. Meticulously maintained at Hofmann’s Motorsport this car has finished 21 of its 48 race starts on the podium. In 2008 it dominated Class B with 9 class wins and 1 outright win from 20 race starts earning me the “Driver of the Season” award. In 2009 the car was a significant feature of the Modified Class scoring 7 class podiums and 1 outright race win from 11 starts. Best results for 2010 so far have been qualifying 3rd at Castle Combe and a 4th place finish at Snetterton after running 2nd for most of the race. Full specification as follows:

Selling to fund entry into a few 24-hour races next year but with the best calendar, full grids and fantastic support from the Lotus community, the Elise Trophy is arguably the UK’s premier club race series. With spaces on the grid still available in 2010, this is a perfect opportunity to take part using a fast and well proven piece of Elise Trophy history.
