A post-IMSA privateer comeback with Move-It Motorsports in the Speedvision World Challenge GT.
The X180R’s final competitive chapter came five years after the factory program closed. Bruce Morton’s Move-It Motorsports team bought two of the IMSA-spec X180Rs from Lotus and leased a third, car No. 12, from Steve Hansen — the LotuSport sponsor and driver who had bought it when the factory program wound down — and entered all three in the 2000 Speedvision GT World Challenge series with Elliott Forbes-Robinson and Butch Leitzinger driving. Move-It Motorsports is the entrant of record for every X180R start that season. A shortage of funding undid the effort: the team fielded the full three-car entry only at the Charlotte opener.
Which of the three race numbers at Charlotte — 55, 95 or 65 — was carried by the leased No. 12 is not established: the period results log a car number and never a chassis. Raël (Claude Vorilhon) went on to contest two further rounds and Forbes-Robinson one more, at Texas Motor Speedway, with the campaign ending 31st overall in the series standings on 26 points.
