- Ride onboard with me in the ART Car Club factory Lotus Elan 26R for a race long dogfight with Philip Kadoorie as well as Jim Farley in their monstrous AC Cobras. A masterclass in tight historic racing on the limit during the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion at Laguna Seca!
God bless you for:
1) Not playing music
2) Great camera placement
3) Fantastic driving
Best race of the weekend!
Bloody hell, this is exactly what my dream would be like ! Young Englishman driving quintessentially best British sport car, 26R, bothering Cobras and other sports cars in a proper American environment in 2022, proving the excellence of Lotus engineering philosophy and aspiration, you are so fortunate to be in the driving seat ! Thanks so so much for sharing the video and this is much better than a guy driving F GTO in a track. wishing you all the success. Cheers J
Sweet passing manoeuvre. Shame you didn't get an invite to Goodwood this last weekend, it would have been fun to see a similar battle there.
That was amazing! I was screaming at the TV as you battled the cobra. Way to go - bringing lightness to the fight!
Hi Horatio, we met today at a Porsche event in Emeryville. I had the orange 912. Great driving. Around the out side of 9 for the pass into the lead. Nice! That move really shows your skills.
That pass for the win down the corkscrew was so so good.
It was fantastic seeing it live. But I’ll be watching this video for years to come. Awesome
Watched this race at the track. Everyone on the outside of turn 9 was going nuts!
Absolutely amazing track, driver, car and video. Thanks for sharing
Wow Wow Wow - great drive Horatio!
Great but of driving Horatio! Was nice to meet you too

Easily the best race of the day!!
Holy hell that was fun to watch! What an amazing race! Thanks for pointing me to this video - it was great to meet you after Saturday's race.
Wow! Some of the best race driving I have seen in *any* venue, let alone historic racing! I was watching from up the hill on the inside of T6 with my dad, and so it was 2x awesome to also see it from in-car. Congrats on the win!
Some serious driving and what a pleasure to watch that screaming little Lotus. Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed it.
Some of the best driving and racecraft I have ever seen. I was stunned and really needed a six point harness on my seat here in front of the PC! What an intense video. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.
Haven’t watched video yet as I was there! You killed it Horatio, that Elan showed lots of cars with many more cubes the way around Laguna Seca…there were a couple of Cobras that had a mirror full of Lotus Elan as they clipped the apex of turn 6!!
Great drive once again 💪👏
Fantastic racing with the 26R beating Cobra’s, Horatio. Did the same with my 26R some years ago!,,
Beyond impressed with your performance at Laguna Seca over the weekend. Congrats!!
Helluva job! Good meeting you on pre-reunion Sunday. Hope to see you race again soon.
A split screen of the elan and cobra drivers would have been interesting
Excellent drive! Thanks for bringing us along. Well done, Horatio.
Bummed we couldn’t see what happened to the Cobra. Just like the video, what I saw was you two battling then him simply out of the picture.
Reunion this year was crazy. More bent metal and spilled oil in a long time. Wed/Thurs saw 200 lb of oil absorbent dumped on the track.
Good racing!
When Cobra Guy guessed wrong at the top of the Corkscrew, and you immediately went the other way, I jumped out of my chair and yelled YES HAHA THIS IS IT!
I don't usually get that involved...
Anyway, well done and congratulations.
What tyres do you run? Looks pretty loose there early on.
Superlative !
Epic battle, what a total buzz! Love the bruiser Cobra, but the 26R is the winner in so many ways.
...and at the end, Cobra's tyres was dead, as ever !!
