1600 Lotus Twincams
I have had a notion for years of running a single seat racecar with a Lotus Twincam in it. Are there any classes of Formula 3 or suchlike where a Lotus twincam can be competitive?
Many thanks, |

how many do you want? HSCC would be my first port of call
unless you've got a space framed Fiat 500 . . . . |

There is currently a Lotus 20 B for sale that was fitted with a Lotus TC in period. How that car would shape up against a later 1600 CC F2 such a Lotus 58 is another question. But my guess is that it would be reasonbly competitive. That route would be my reccomendation. You could run car powered by a Lotus 1600 CC engine in CF3 but that would be very much towards the end of the grid. There some veeeeeeeery rare cars powered by a sleeved down Lotus TC 1500 that the HGPCA accepts. But only if that very chassis run in GP in period in that configuration. There is a Cooper that races regularly. A Lotus 27 TC has been thrown out. A very expensive route and You would need to do Your homework before hand Hope this helps Rudolf Last edited by Rudernst; 20 Mar 2012 at 22:54. |

Not quite Rudolf, the 27 in question is welcome but only with a slower driver...... |

The formula 3 class from 1971 to 1973 was predominant by cars with Lotus Twin Cam engines.
