Club Lotus Track Day 30 April 2022
As in previous years, this is a great Lotus event and we’ll worth coming along for. We’ve had lots of people join our display in previous years.
To book your track session(s) you need to be a member of Club Lotus and relevant booking information is in the latest Club Lotus News.
Please post here if you plan to come along so we know how much club parking we will need.
Also, this event clashes with the Donington Historic Festival. As a result, some have indicated that having done this event on Saturday 30th, they plan to do Donington on Sunday 1 May. I will be doing this.
Cheers, Richard

I'm hoping to make this one too. Will probably do the same as last year and just enjoy the parade laps rather than book a track session.

Re: Club Lotus Track Day 30 April 2022
I should be there, probably with Rick in his MG Roadster and Paul in his newly restored Austin A7.

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

Re: Club Lotus Track Day 30 April 2022
Could we have a count of who is planning to attend? If there is the demand I’ll ask for a dedicated parking area, but I can’t do that until I have numbers.
I may not be able to bring the Elite along. Having a nasty bout of sciatica, I have not been flexible enough to do much on my car and, checking it over today, there are a number of electrical issues that need to be sorted before I can get it MOT tested and come along. I have limited time this week but will try to get it through.
Cheers, Richard

Yes I'm planning to be there. I haven't booked in for the track day so will be there mid morning rather than crack of dawn!

I'm planning on attending.
Like Bryan, not tracking (except maybe lunch time) so aiming around 10 ish for arrival.

Re: Club Lotus Track Day 30 April 2022
I’ve requested parking for 8 cars. If nobody from the club is there when you arrive, go and find Alan Morgan who should be able to point you in the right direction.

Re: Club Lotus Track Day 30 April 2022
Not Calendar challenger photographs, but they do confirm we had 9 Grand Tourers at Castle Coombe this year : 2 Elites, 1 Eclat Sprint & 6 Excels of various ages and specs.
And a very tidy, regular use Non SE, over 25 years with current owner.
