Wikipedia: The Lotus Elise GT1 (also known as the Lotus GT1 and known internally as Type-115) was a race car developed for grand tourer-style sports car racing starting in 1997. Lotus Cars had previously been using a racing version of their Lotus Esprit model in the BPR Global GT Series since its foundation in 1994, competing in the premiere GT1 class against the likes of the McLaren F1 GTR, Venturi 600LM, Ferrari F40 GTE, and others. However in 1997 the series became known as the FIA GT Championship, and manufacturer involvement was increased with the new international exposure.
