Can you strip an Esprit enough for the Brit Lightweight?

I have nothing that remotely qualifies for the British Lightweight event, so I am in the enjoyable position of choosing a new car to buy.

Is it possible to take enough weight off a Lotus Esprit to bring it under the weight limit? And if so is it even worth it?

Or should I just choose a nice TVR instead? :)

Whatever you do, don't go with the TVR - at least not if you're ever going to do the race in B-Spec.
The Elise 111R is a better choice, in my opinion.
 
With my pre-order of the game I got the Mclaren F1 Stealth, & the game lets me use this for the brits lightweight. You will crush with this. Maybe you want to check and see if a mclaren will work.

Race Modified and tuned 111R
McLaren F1
Jaguar XJ13 Chrome line Race car (Free off Facebook and only valid for European players)

I completed it in both A & B Spec with the Jaguar
 
Did it with the Lotus racing car (red one in the used car lot) with some upgrades. Got gold once I learned to control the car. Best thing to use would be the Bentley Group C car, or a McLaren :)
 
YOu can seriously use the McLaren F1 stealth in the british lightweight?!?!?

AHAHAHAHA wow that race is sooooo destroyed tonight.

Same with me. I've always loved the Caterham, so had to buy one when I saw it in the used car lot. It was nice to have a race I could use it in. But it absolutley destroed the competition, but its such a fun car to drive!
 
Slap the supercharger on it and of she goes. You can't reduce the weight anymore but I think it's 360kg anyway.
 
Ordered from Amazon, so I don't have the Stealth F1 and it will be a while before I can afford a McLaren. On the other hand with the Stealth SLS I have the German event covered. :)

I went ahead and bought the premium V8 Esprit and stripped the crap out of it. In restrospect, the car was indeed overkill. I won handily and it was fun to drive. My Bspec morons will still find a way to lose with it tho, I'm sure.

I did it in a weight reduced Mclaren Mp4-12c, overkill I know, but I didn't fancy buying a new elise at the time.
