Re: Club Lotus Track Day 2023 27 May

I would’ve loved to be there but I don’t think I’ll have sorted my issues out for the event. I do hope that a decent number of Grand Tourers make it.

Richard, I am happy to help out, but would only want wristbands if I can be of use to the Grand Tourers. Otherwise I’m happy to use a code for discount and see you all in there. Ian
