S3
S3's showed up in high numbers to the track. The sophisticated, luxurious and fast hatch is well appreciated among Mexican enthusiasts.
Lotus
Lamborghini
Lotus Exige S accounted for the only Lotus on the track. A quite low enthusiast base mainly due to close to none promotion of the brand and the products in our country. Track events should be filled with Lotus cars as intended by the factory, but negligence and divergence has caused an absence of Lotus high performing vehicles to enthusiast events.
