Patrick O’neill - 2 Eleven Challenge Race ZhuHai China

I used the Lotus 2-Eleven launch control during the standing start. You can see that I am dreaming of a Podium, Brolly Dollies and Champagne near the end of the race! This is my second ever race in a car. I am driving my Lotus 2-Eleven (this is the first one Lotus made) on slicks for the first time. Lotus had not developed the setup for slicks yet but I was talked in to giving it a try. This circuit is very hard on brakes and the combination of the slicks and me being too hard on the brakes resulted in overheating. This is the 8th round of the Lotus Challenge Asia at ZhuHai International Circuit in China September 17th, 2007.
