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.
