Taking the 1999 Lotus Elise Series 1 Sport 190 onto the Bahia De Plano Circuit was a mix of thrill and chaos. Between sandstorm skies, slippery drifts, and last-minute rewinds, the lavender classic proved its worth. From shaky starts to a first-place finish, it was one unforgettable ride.

Today, it's about the 1999 Lotus Elise Series 1 Sport 190 in the Bahia De Plano Circuit.

The 1999 Lotus Elise Series 1 Sport 190 is a true lightweight icon with its compact frame and minimalist bodywork. I bought this beauty with only 81k CR. And I changed its original yellow color into this Lavenderish that I liked the most.

Bahia De Plano Circuit

A favorite for thrill seekers, the Bahia De Plano Circuit is all about speed and daring moves. Its long, sweeping turns keep the pace high, while a couple of heavy braking zones open the door for bold overtakes that can change everything in an instant.

I thought it'd be a great race beside the ocean, but the race happened in a sandstorm, and I started in 8th position.

There were other classic cars on the track, and when I started driving the car, it seemed like I was driving something really smooth and fast enough for this track.

After the first turn, I almost lost control of my car and somehow managed to keep it on the track after getting to the fifth position, but I wished to take a photo of a moment before, so I tried the rewind feature only for this photo above, where I was like blocking those racers.

I finished the first lap in 5th position, so I started driving a little wreckless and I was even trying drifting driving this classic car, and made it to the third position somehow.

I didn't try any drift there, didn't even hit the brake button, but still there were such tyre marks as if I tried hard drifts there. Yeah, the car was slippery.

I managed to get to the first position right before reaching the finishing line, and I finished the second lap being on the first position, yeaaa.

It was the last lap, I was leading them all, and I didn't have room to try any foul play, but I tried a little drift at a turn and messed it up. Messed up how? Let's check below.
