My M Coupe name was when I had an M Coupe, but the car in question was a Lotus Elise. It was the standard version, and is very iffy in the wet due to being very light, hence the steady-ish lap.
Will be back there in a month or so with an extra 33% Bhp, lowered and stiffend suspension etc. Just hope it doesn't rain again.
Jack Racer,
Have a look at

and click on opening times Northern loop, and you will see the opening hours. It is open most weekends and most evenings. You just need to turn up pay your money and do your laps. I wasn't wearing a helmet in the clip (neither is the nutter in the RuF (that man is clearly mad!)), but if I was going fast then I would. The Ring Taxi is actually a M5 (and needs to be booked well in advance), and laps in around 8m30sec in the dry. It was also the only car which overtook me in the wet
