  • In Ep.2 of Track Mode, Abbie Eaton and Jorge Calado take the Lotus Exige Cup 430 to Cadwell Park to take this feisty, supercar destroying track weapon for some hot laps. We also find out the history of this amazing track and why it's known as the mini Nurburgring.

    Very enjoyable to watch and very professionally put together. Impressed by the 430 Cup. Get your hands on a "true" Exige Cup - full roll cage + XTRAC sequential - and marvel at what an Exige can deliver (not sure Jorge managed to drive ours at Goodwood). A time will come when these cars will be truly missed. Track classics.

      Hi Miguel. I remember driving your Aero 8 which was just hilariously good fun and then David let me take a few guests out in the 311 and it really left an impression on me. Sadly I don't think there was an Exige with an XTRAC sequential there that day (I would remember haha). Maybe on a future episode? ;)
      Thank you for your kind words.
