Notes
This setup was designed to maximise braking performance and stability whilst dialing out the lift-off oversteer that the Esprit is prone to. It's not an easy drive as careful modulation of the throttle and predictive braking is necessary but she sure is fun :D.

Sukerkin,
Judging by some of your more recent posts and setups it is evident you've developed a knack for high A-spec point tuning. I'm hoping you may have an updated setup that you would wish to share for the Esprit. I've been fond of Lotus cars ever since I saw Graham Hill race a Lotus 23 to a class win at my local track way back in 1963. But they were never without flaws, and the Esprit seems especially tricky to me.
Thanks,
Dotini

Hi Dotini

Many thanks for the kindly words there :tup:. I certainly have worked on set-ups for the Esprit in GT4 and will have a dig through them for you to see what I came up with - it's too late for tonight but I'm sure I'll have something to show in a day or two Big Grin
