In the meantime we’ve been down to Brands Hatch for a little track time. The car is going well but there are a couple of jobs to do before it’s next race..

Moran Lotus Cortina prepped for CSCC Brands Hatch
We’ve been prepping the Lotus Cortina this week for today’s track day at Brands Hatch and again for the CSCC Brands Hatch meeting this weekend including a night race. Other than the usual the car needed a radiator repair and the fitment of spot lights and marker lights for night time running. A pair of classic Cibie Oscars have been fitted to the front along with some green LED’s behind the grille so we can easily recognize the car when its coming round in the dark.
