[@DullBoyJack]

the Opel Speedster is actually an elise underneath, just with a different powertrain. It's a really good chassis.

[@florianray1223]

This guy has balls of steel... Nordschleife on the limit with this wheelbase is no fun (own a speedster myself) as I want to stay a speedster owner - - > no nordschleife again... The tighter the track the better for this car (like cadwell park)

I think it‘s a Good Idea😁

[@ElMosqito]

This Opel is a rocketship!

[@svend.7324]

What a beast of car. But much more impressive are the driver skills! Uses nearly 100% the perfect line, very often late apex. And to hit that very sweet spot right at maximum speed on this track is really amazing!! I wish, I had these skills and reactions. Impressive! 😎👍

[@LCTRgames]

[@marcusFZ6]

Magic video. Light weight and good power Lotus Elise chassis that was used in the Vauxhall VX220 or Opel Speedster. Even better when they put the Turbo engine in the back.

[@markorchard2272]

Totally unique chassis. Not an Elise. I was a project manager at Lotus. Everyone thinks it was an Elise underneath. It was not.

[@FrankHerfjord]

@@markorchard2272 very interesting. So give us your honest opinion. At the time of it's production, which car was held in higher esteem by the guys at the factory? I owned an S2 Exige S for a short period of time and currrently own a heavily modified 2.2 speedster. I have no idea what a stock Speedster was like but mine is way less refined than the Exige. I guess the stock wheels and were pretty silly on the Speedster.

[@nordschleife-motorsport]

cool round nice catch scene from these Opel Speedster its a little Monster 😁👍

[@froggyfreddy4748]

Impressionnante vidéo C’est étonnant à quel point il arrive à tenir des trajectoires Ecole avec son speedster, et on constate qu’il ressort très fort et qu’il en tire profit sur le droit. On a qd même souvent tendances à plonger trop tôt à la corde au nurb, du aux dénivelés favorables. Mais là preuve semble faite qu’on peut patienter un peu plus

[@alphajet2145]

Ce qui est aussi impressionnant c'est à quelle point il est rude sur sa direction dans son Speedster. Il fait rentrer sa bagnole de manière ultra-carré, et ça tient malgré le transfert de masse.

[@sids8431]

Superb video Seb. Great driving as usual. How does the Opel pass the db limit :) ……..?

[@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics]

I'm sure you short-shifted a few times to give him space, in general I think he gets on the throttle out of corners a little harder than you were. I don't blame you for driving carefully, but I think on good tires you can get on the throttle earlier out of corners. Super cool!!

[@Inazuma68]

You could see that Seb was faster, but imagine, that car is 20 years old, manual, 2.0 turbo. This car was seriously fast driven and very well preped 🙌👌 great respect

[@449Raphael]

@@markorchard2272 So, when you need a new chassis, you can’t find it and the Elise, Exige chassis won’t fit? Parts are rare, but a lot of Elise parts fit. The Opel GM unit is very tuneable. I have now 435nm torque and 255hp with minor changes. I’m saving for an upgrade to 290hp. Cost 3500€.

Obviously he is a great driver, but some of the opel's lines & setups seem a bit erratic & braking seems to be early. Of course there may be good reasons for some of that, but it seems.... twitchy. Then there are sections where he just seems to walk. Wonder who it is.
