Ok, having done a couple of hours of research it appears to me that the words
"Lotus, all" as a complete exclusion list for SM2 got about ten seconds worth
of "Lotus bad, let's exclude them" thought.
The mimimum RWD weight is 1900lbs. So if you want to run a Seven, Elan, or
Europa you will need to balast it out to its original design weight limit or,
in the case of the Seven to double its production weight. Or leave the Seven
alone and take weight out of the others to be compeitive in D mod at 6-700 lbs.
less.
If running at 1900lbs in a two seater sounds like fun, I recommend an Elva or
TVR. They both came with Ford engines. Built Zetecs are producing lots of
horsepower.
So while letting the Elva and TVR and 1500lb FWD cars in, the exclusion list
keeps out these Lotus models:
Elan+2 2085lb
Elite ('76+) 2413
Eclat 2390
Espirit 2249
Espirit Turbo 2820
Elan - fwd 2249
And the new Elise.
