The Lotus Seven was launched in 1957, after the Lotus Eleven was in limited production. The Seven name was left over from a model that was abandoned by Lotus, which would have been a Riley-engined single-seater that Lotus intended to enter into the Formula Two in 1952 or 1953. However, the car was completed around Chapman's chassis as a sports car by its backers and christened the Clairmonte Special. Externally similar to Chapman's first series-produced Lotus Mark VI, but with a tubular frame similar to the Lotus Eleven, the Seven was powered by a 40 bhp (30 kW; 41 PS) Ford Side-valve 1,172 cc inline-four engine. It was mainly for road use and lower budget club racing on short tracks (750 motor club).
We are allowed to use up to 600HP on this, but I found that only 100HP was needed on this particular model :) Soooo, it basically does well over 200+ on only 100HP ;P
ALSO: on the Wright airport, I found a glitch that makes certain weighted planes, vehicles, etc Jump in the air for no reason. If that happens, just go again and turn a bit along the way (it will still pick up to speed :) ). It might be a front-heavy thing, not sure. But just letting you know if you run into a car that randomly jumps at a specific point on that airport right at the first left turn option lane.
Anyhow, ENJOY!
