Here is data on an 2006 Lotus Exige stock. It's the drivers first track time in the car so we're expecting next years runs to be faster. The driver is a BMW club HPDE instructor and has done a 1:54 at Brainerd International Raceway. He said he didn't feel good in the car so fair enough. Heres the lap map and corner by corner analysis for Mid Ohio:

Heres the min/max/avg track data. The car is very very fast accelerating. 0.6G is very fast. But, you can see the drivers uncomfort when driving this car for the first time at a track. The lateral and braking Gs are pretty low for this car. Maybe the tires were no good, 0.8G for braking is pretty poor given the cars light weight.
