YouTube links
In a determined attempt to keep up with modern technology we are starting to provide links to the ever growing number of YouTube videos that are being produced showing Lotus cars on the race track, both current and historical.
LotusTube.com has a large number of Lotus videos. You will need to register using a user ID and a password. After you have logged in there is a Menu on the RH side, and below that "Categories". Choose "Lotus F1 and Motor Sport" for the best historic videos, but there are others under "Colin Chapman", "Heritage" and so on. You may find some annoying pauses if your Broadband speed is not very high.
One way to overcome this is to hit the pause button (LH side below screen) and allow some time for the video to load before re-starting. If the pauses are due to the system being overloaded by the number of people using it, then this will not help. Another possible reason is that your "cache" is blocked. Click here to read the relevant YouTube Help page on how to overcome this.
