Would I be right in saying that the is a Lotus Esprit team in the GT series?

If so, does anyone know who they are and how I can get hold of them?

I would like to know how they change the steering wheel from standard. As I can't find a boss to do mine.

Many thanks

Nick

There is a team that has been running an Esprit in British GTs - Johnson's Motorsport, a great bunch of blokes - I've got their number at home and can email it to you later unless someone has it closer to hand.

There was a second GTO car too built and run by Shaun Balfe's team and then briefly last year by Zest Motorsport. That car was stolen and burnt out last winter!

If I remember correctly the steering wheel was a pain in the arse to fit! I can't remember what was changed to fit the new one. I think it had a MOMO one put on, but trying to remember.
I THINK we had to re-engineer the column a little to adapt a better wheel. Will try and find out tomorrow evening I'll see the engineer then!

Drill a hole, and use a big fat bolt?!

That Lotus Esprit team ur talking about are my favorite team out there, they turn up to almost all if not all the races, give it their best, and always seem to do bloody well, it just goes to show that u dont have to have more money than sence "Ferrari" to do well. good on'ya lads!
