Yes thank you so much for relaying that info here. My car was ordered with duel fuel tanks but before build I would like option to decide if I want one of the revised ones.

NASA revised its CCR a couple of weeks ago, saying that fuel tanks cannot be mounted parallel to the driver. There was a lot of talk around this in the group. RAW found a US supplier and made a one-off prototype 6-gal tank that would go behind the seat like a traditional formula car. There was another post in the group that stated that they were going to send that prototype off to NASA for testing to see if it could be approved. All orders for the new tanks are on hold until a yes or no is given by NASA on the "Gen 3" tank. (The rest of this I did not officially hear from RAW so take it with a grain of salt just in case.) If NASA approves the new tank, those with orders for the new tank will have the option to take the gen 3 or the gen 2 and will not lose their place in line. As for those whose cars are in production, I am not sure but I would bet that you will have the option to have one of the new tanks installed before delivery.

Thank you sir!

I have not been able to find something that clearly states the status of what fuel tanks are standard/required to race SCCA/Gridlife/NASA {I don't do social media, so maybe it's there?). Other than in the parts section for upgrading to the latest spec required by Gridlife and SCCA, maybe that's it? And it does explain it pretty well, I guess NASA is a no go?
If there is something other than that, if I could be directed to it that would be great or could someone from Rush clarify it here.
Also, if one has a car on order what will it come with?
Thx

Look at all you copy cats with your Exiges

I just tracked my new to me 2008 Exige S240 at Lime Rock. It’s the 5th Lotus I’ve owned. Anyway, just posted a thread asking for advice on essentials and must haves for my Rush trailer. First track days are on the 23rd and 24th at Pocono and I’d to make sure my 16’ enclosed trailer has all the essentials to make it a successful two days.

Good day everyone. Well, the time has come to get out on track for the first time with my Rush. Although I’ve got about ten or so track days under my belt with various Lotuses, the Rush is completely new and I was wondering if anyone has every made a list for newbies of what one would want to have in the trailer for track days.

For example, how many racing jugs are recommended? Extra wheels with tires mounted, tools, etc…..

Thanks to anyone who chimes in.

I am selling Chassis #183 (drive by wire) car. I have used it for 2 HPDE events a one SVRA event (took 1st place) chassis has 14 hours on it, but the motor and transmission have 1 break in hour on them. The transmission lost a gear (Rush wasn’t sure why so they rebuilt everything for me under warranty and resealed the motor). Car is in perfect shape. Sale includes the car, about 8K in spares (was my intention to run it in SVRA but I bought a radical sr3) 2 sets of wheels, a spare set of tires, a brand new set of Hoosiers, a 9 Lives high downforce wing installed (i have the stock wing if you intend to race int he spec series) and a custom made Montrose trailer. Asking $55,000 for all of it. I will even throw in race ramps and a formula jack and a bodywork stand.
The trailer was designed to my specs specifically for the Rush. It has 3 opening walls and e-track the entire length via the Rush specs. It has underfloor storage along with a drill powered winch. The trailer, spares and Rush all together weigh in at 2900 lbs making this towable by even the smallest SUV or truck.
The car is in my enclosed storage at VIR. The trailer is in Orlando Florida. If you live closer to VIR, i will bring the trailer up, if you live closer to Orlando, i will go up and get the car and bring it here.
If interested please contact Sean Monett @ seanm7454@gmail.com
Thank you!
