I have to say the Exige shows how great it handles… I haven’t had the chance of driving one of these on the track, but I can only imagine the pure joy of taking corners in something that just sticks to the asphalt.

There’s no info on the driver, nor the exact specs of the car in this vid — but it’s still very much worth checking out!

By the way: more Exige videos coming up, seeing as an exige-owner e-mailed me earlier this week telling me he’ll soon be uploading some street driving vids of him cruising the beautiful city of Barcelona… KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!!

Driver Dean Evans pretty much starts at the back of the field, but quickly catches up some of the other cars ahead of him…

Probably the most exciting Elise-race I’ve seen from a cockpit. Good stuff! :D

Just one thing: why was Dean at the back of the starting grid? :D
