A question for those who've been before - can anyone come into this event?
I've got some non-Club Lotus , non-Lotus owning family who live nearby and might enjoy this, can they come along, can they park, is there an entrance fee, etc. etc.?
Thanks for any advice.

I'm sure they can park in the adjacent car parks and walk over. I am not aware if those car parks are at cost.

There are always non lotus around the paddock area so they may find space there (toilets and cafe is in this area)

Payment is only required for the track use.

non lotus in paddock area below example :)

Its free - just turn up. Organised by Club Lotus but all are welcome member or not. Only have to pay if you want a track session & then you need to be a Club Lotus member.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I’ve checked with Alan Morgan re arrival times - the track sessions start at 9.00am but if you don’t have a session booked you can arrive whenever you choose - just drive slowly in the paddock area (where our dedicated parking is) as people will be wandering about. I will be there from around 8.00am to ensure nobody trespasses on our pitch.

Cheers, Richard

I will be there as soon as I can. Its a bank holiday weekend and the traffic on the motorway usually comes to a stand still. Last time my fans failed to come on - broken wire on the otter switch - temp was just below 100 at one point with the heater blowing full blast !
