A lot of racers know Glenn Stephens - he's the guy who produces the popular TraqMate GPS-based data acquisition systems - but have you had a close look at his Lotus Eleven Le Mans? What's Glenn's secret to winning so many races? (Besides TraqMate?) Well, for one thing, his car is VERY well sorted. Have a close look and you'll see what I mean. Example: did you know that toe-in can be precisely adjusted on a Lotus DeDion rear suspension?

This is one of the most exciting in-car race videos I've seen!

Nice track to be able to go off course, straighten it out, come back and not lose position! That was some fine driving right there. But I think that camera needs a pod.

Awful sound. But just turn it down and put on your fav music. It was amazing HD video of a great driver racing hard in a great old car. Well done that man! It makes me think 'why wasn't I there?'
