Zitat22/07/2013 KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN TO APPEAR AT BURN YARD™ LIVE IN BUDAPEST Imagine the most forward-thinking DJs collaborating with leading street artists, world-class action sports athletes and Lotus F1 Team drivers. This is burn Yard™
During a recent visit to Group Lotus HQ Kimi put the latest and greatest Lotus cars through their paces. First up was the Solar Yellow Exige V6 Cup R followed by a Laser Blue Exige S coupé as featured in the new Hollywood movie "RED 2" which opens in cinemas this month, the brand new Lotus Exige S Roadster and an Aspen White Evora S Sports Racer.
Group Lotus Chief Engineer of Test & Development, Matt Becker took Kimi out on his maiden lap of the famous Hethel test track and later commented "Kimi very quickly found a rapport with the car and the circuit - we were not even half way round the first lap before he was optimising grip and coming out of each corner with remarkable speed. Kimi is a world champion so I was not surprised how relaxed and quick he was, or even to see him take a different line around the track, but what was significant was the sensitivity he showed the tyres; normally we would expect to replace tyres after such a heavy track session, but the skill in which Kimi preserved the tyres was astonishing -- they looked like they had barely been driven on!"

Zitat von Denorththank you everyone for info and news!
they guy who edited video from Hethel deserves to be kicked.
I agree the video was lame. It would have been so much better if Kimi was just photographed driving the car around the track from the outside. That is what people would want to see. Kimi only did a few runs and apparently he was close to the track record.
It is strange that Kimi should do PR for Lotus when they dont pay sponsorship money to Enstone.

other quotes from F1 Racing
ZitatQre you really “have a shit" in Brazil’06 when Martin Brundle asked why you weren’t at the Schumacher/Pelé tribute? KR:Actually,yes.I don’t lie,otherwise I wouldn’t have said it.I was in the toilet.
“Q:Given the choice, vodka or Red Bull? KR:Vodka”
“I was pretty close to it (close to signing for Williams). We had discussions, but how close? It wasn’t as close as Lotus but it wasn’t far off (signing for Williams). I don’t think it would have gone entirely as expected.”
