Following the failure, the subsequent rushed patch and weld job and podium finish at Brands Hatch earlier in the year it is time for this Mk1 Lotus Cortina to get its new rear axle casing.
2nd overall for Lotus Cortina at Brands Hatch
David Moran and John Hutchinson shared the drive in the CSCC Classic K race at Brands Hatch. They qualified in 4th place but made up two places in the race to bring the car home in 2nd overall and 1st in class. Before the race David’s Mk1 Lotus Cortina was treated to a brand new Neil Brown race engine and a rebuild for the front shock absorbers. Bring on the next round.

Lotus Cortina race prep and competition alternators
David Moran’s Mk1 Lotus Cortina has now been prepped for the HRDC Allstars race at Donington this weekend. Following a track day also at Donington we spotted the casing of the alternator was broken. We’ve replaced the alternator with a lightweight competition item. Almost all of the cars we are running now have this alternator fitted. We have found them to be very reliable and a vast improvement over standard items.
