SPORT 350 ALIGNMENT RECOMMENDATION

[Cemil Tacir]

Hi guys. I will be using my Exige Sport 350, first time on track at Istanbulpark F1 circuit. The track is a wide track with high speed corners, without much elevation. Generally cars with higher speed are getting better lap times. Can anyone recommend me a specific alignment set up?

It's not quite as prescriptive as "copy setting X and you will get result Y"; depends on the amount of road versus track usage, what you feel are the shortcomings of the car, etc. You're best off speaking to and working with a specialist.

I posted a response to another thread based on my road-only usage:

I'm not sure if the S/350 dampers offer height adjustment, so adding rake might not be possible. But generally, add rake, add camber, at least neutralise if not toe out the front, and increasing caster if preferred, are all going to "fix" the factory shortcomings with the car (more, provide a less "safe" setup than Lotus' out of the factory).

As a general point, for tracking an S/350 a baffled sump is almost a must!

Hi brother. We did the alignment settings with my mechanic. He is also an expert in lotus cars. We did reach the best result possible. Thank you very much for your help. Appreciate your answer🙏
