Street FX Motorsport TV posted nothing new, but its Lotus visit offers more than a quick lap to catch up on. Mark Trueno and Bayley Hall take the Emira 420 Sport onto Norfolk roads before Hall explores its behaviour at Hethel, putting cabin comfort and suspension firmness alongside the track work.
The useful tension is in the engineering: how do you add circuit capability without making speed bumps a nuisance? Lotus designer Russell Carr explains the compromises around the rear spoiler, ground clearance and drag, while Tom Clifton walks through the aerodynamic and chassis changes. Later, Hall assesses the adjustable suspension from both road and track perspectives. The launch testing has its own complication, with Trueno explaining telemetry and stability-control issues rather than presenting an uncomplicated stopwatch verdict.
As we reported here, the full Emira review was already the archive's most active upload. It remains so, now past 32,000 views, with the short-wheelbase Prado's Crawl Control test providing a much smaller stream of viewing behind it.
Across the channel, the archive added roughly 24,000 views over the week. Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is running modestly above its usual level. Nearby in motoring, Fixbook is enjoying stronger-than-usual daily viewing and LegitStreetCars 2 is quieter than usual. For Street FX Motorsport TV, the most active stop remains that unusually thorough Lotus visit, right down to Hall demonstrating the removable roof panel.
