Club Lotus Track Day 2023 27 May

Post by richardw »

I have just found out that this event will be back to its usual time slot - 27th May - this year, so a date for our diaries.

Does anyone want me to try for reserved parking, or are you happy to join the general melee?

Cheers, Richard

I'm planning on attending this. If there's enough of us, would be good to try for a reserved slot.

Also hope to be there in the Elite. Grouped together as Grand Tourers if possible.

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.
The Lotus Eclat, a lot like the English Whisky company: comes from Norfolk and better than you are often told it is.

If enough people want, I can try to organise a reserved parking area for our cars. Based on previous years, it is just as successful for people to choose their own area - it avoids disappointment and frustration if the allocated area does become full. If you are early enough then there will be the opportunity to cluster!

I will be there but not in Lotus again I’m afraid.

Cheers, Richard

Hi Richard, unfortunately Sharon and I won't be able to make it this year, we've got a family event that weekend. It's a pity because this is a great day out and not too far from us.

It looks like it’s going to be quite a sunny day, so I will take a gazebo we can sit under (as long as it’s not too windy).
I plan on being there early 8.30-9.00.

Thanks Alan, I'll look out for a red Excel near a gazebo then.
