1995 Racing Season - Lotus X180R

After changes to IMSA’s rules and the loss of Lotus factory support, LotuSport team decided to shut down its racing program midway through 1995. Further, the heavy weight penalties that had cumulatively been added to the X180R by IMSA made the chassis no longer competitive.

One of the cars (#12) was sold to Steve Hansen, a LotuSport sponsor and driver. Two additional cars were sold to Bruce Morton in 2000, who planned on entering them in the Speedvision GT World Challenge series with Elliot-Forbes Robinson and Butch Leizinger as drivers. Unfortunately, the team was only able to compete in four races due to lack of funding.

  • 1 podium
  • 1 pole position
  • Andy Pilgrim ran a 350 hp Pontiac Firebird Firehawk after the first three Supercar races in an X180R
  • Doc Bundy ran one final Supercar race after the X180R in a Nissan 300ZX Turbo
