Tuned Lotus Exige eats up Porsches, Ferraris, McLarens @ Circuit Paul Ricard

A nearly factory-looking Lotus Exige with JUBU 500 Kit and JUBU DCT eats up lots of Porsches, a McLaren and some Ferraris at Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet. The car is fully street legal, but a monster on track. It’s really fun and easy to drive, the JUBU Dual Clutch System even offers an automatic mode.

That’s a proper Lotus Exige! The DCT was the missing part that was holding back all the tuned power, handling and lightweight of the car. The old manual transmission was terrible. Now, it’s a track weapon! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@pwolsey42]

There are some very tasty cars on that track getting absolutely monstered by the Lotus!

[@bashirjardaneh2055]

Not really....there is a lotus being driven by a fast drivers, overtaking slow drivers.

[@111racers]

Really impressive, the grip and the braking power of the car seems very high, nobody follows the rythm!

[@BoostedR130]

Some great driving here. Driver deserves most of the credit here as there are cars plenty capable of putting up a better fight in this vid but he’s right on the limit. Good stuff.

[@nicholasjackson5237]

Facts. This guy is an animal, hes downright in tuned with the vehicle like hes Andretti or something.

[@cmiimages]

Jeeze that Exige is quick...amazing car.... DCT is the way to go, changes the car totally, great stuff.

[@jerusdc]

Wow, Guy I the R8 needs some coaching. Nice driving! Makes me miss my Exige

[@HugheZ33]

Absolutely tearin it up!!! I hope one day I can drive this good and have such a beautiful machine!!!

Going so hard the windscreen cracked.

Amazing car Lotus Exige\Elise

[@asdesign5651]

So much under steering ..what a toy!😍

[@andrewramero4560]

So many Porsche models

[@grigorioschristodoulou5229]

Is the car still on an open diff? Maybe an LSD would help with rotation on corner exit. Feels like inside rear wheel is pushing the car outwards

[@firip255]

Tyre feels like Gran Turismo on PlayStation. Understeeeeer

[@MultiNascar01]

It not seems that lotus is so quick but others really slow.

[@jeremyclavaud2898]

What is the breaking system used? Which discs/pads/hose? And which tires?

[@jubuperformance]

Hi, you can find all brake system components that were used here: www.jubu-performance.com/en/shop/lotus-brakes-393 The tires were Pirelli Trofeo R on JUBU forged rims. You can find these rims and tires here: www.jubu-performance.com/en/shop/lotus-wheels__tyres-394

[@fredericberthou]

Ou se fourni t’on en France ?

[@automotivetestdriver3473]

A good Exige, but also a driver that drives it peoperly. Most of Exige drivers do not know how to drive it( including the testdrivers of car magazines), thats why their potential is mostly not shown.

[@markgtrheyes]

I think lotus set up gives safe understeer, but makes them slower than they should be. Most people increase front camber

[@rosseasson9441]

@@markgtrheyes yeah it's true alright. I was surprised at the amount of understeer. Just when you think you've bought a car you won't have to mess around with. Like you say though, camber set up and decent tyres helps.

[@markgtrheyes]

@@rosseasson9441 I am running 1deg 20 mins at the front and has pretty good front end despite 205 tyres and standard ride height. Have fun fiddling with it!

[@1johnrambobo262]

The other solution is to put 215’s in the front. Does the trick beautifully. That said I wouldn’t be so harsh on drivers skills. I know a lot of very very fast Lotus drivers!

[@newlive2091]

Too much understeer after worn down, what was that tire ?

[@jubuperformance]

Pirelli Trofeo sport tire. A real good tire for the Exige, but as you say: when worn down, then it tends to understeer.

[@richardbradbury8735]

Light physics wins

[@desislavtodorov4242]

What is the gearbox and ECU?

[@jubuperformance]

Hi! Gearbox: JUBU Dual Clutch Transmission for Exige V6. ECU: JUBU/Syvecs Plug & Play ECU for Exige V6. Best, Christian (Team JUBU social media)

[@desislavtodorov4242]

So it's a dq250?

[@335roger]

They schould make a Test against a Top Car tuned by Komotec. That the really Nr. 1 in tuning!!!!

[@jubuperformance]

Hi! We try to make this happen. If Daniel from K-Tec agrees (he partly did it in a facebook-forum), we are absolutely in! Let's do this! 💪🏼

[@notabenex1]

Slicks or TrofeoR?

[@jubuperformance]

TrofeoR. For arrive and drive :)

[@notabenex1]

@@jubuperformance Thanks.. after trying them on your Exige 500 DCT I have to switch from Cup2...

[@jubuperformance]

Trofeos work pretty well on an Exige and last long. If they are worn down (like in the video), the car just tends to understeering.

[@rosseasson9441]

@@jubuperformance any plans for another video of this beast on track?
