Fairfield Motorsport’s John Morgan partnerd by Llinos Jones-Edwards ran as a Zero car on the 2007 inaugural event in their unique Lotus 340r and are definite entrants for the 2008 event.

History of the Lotus 340r ……   The production version of the outrageous and stunningly fast Lotus Elise 340r made its’ Motor show debut at the 1999 A.A.A. and customer deliveries started in December 1999, a mere nine months after Lotus management gave the project the green light, making the 340r’s development cycle one of the quickest in the world, ever.  Just 340 examples were to be built.

The Elise-based 340R was first shown as a concept car at the 1998 Birmingham International Motor Show at the NEC.   In the words of Lotus Design Manager, Russell Carr ‘We decided to develop a road-going racing car which would be even more essential than the Elise, solely directioned and focused for pure driving pleasure.  We wanted a car that would embody the Lotus characteristics of innovation, light weight, elegance and fun to drive – the 340R is all of these. ‘

The 340r is recommended and designed to run on Yokohama tyres so if you are looking for Yokohama tyres for your Lotus 340r contact Fairfield Motorsport on
