Hi All
Thanks for supporting the Lotus Festival in the past.
For 2012 it’s moving back to Brands Hatch but this time on the historic GP circuit.
Much more information to come but I wanted to ensure all the clubs that had supported the event in the past got information/dates early.
If you’d like your club to be involved – discounted tickets, free club display area, free club entry to karting competition and some prizes etc offered to club members as well as news updates please let me know.
It is VERY early still but basics so far..

The 6th running of the Lotus Festival - the largest Lotus event of 2012.
It's a return to the home of the original Lotus Festival - Brands Hatch after 3 years at Snetterton.
There is no better race circuit in the UK and arguably in Europe to watch racing at and on the historic Grand Prix circuit the sight and sound is unrivalled.
Full details on the Festival will be published on:
http://www.lotus-festival.com
Alongside the Lotus motorsport vehicles from past and present will be Round 5 of Lotus Cup UK & Lotus on Track Elise Trophy.
Full support race programme on both days.
* Classic Team Lotus display and demo's
* Lotus Motorsport support
* Lotus Club Displays
* Inter Lotus club karting competition
* Huge Lotus trade village
* Fairground
* Lotus race programme includes 2 x Elise Trophy & a 1hr Lotus Cup UK race
* Full race support package
* Soap box race
* Special Lotus parade
* Celebratory guests from Lotus past and present
Discounted entry tickets for Lotus club members.
Regards
Paul Golding

S'pose you're right Jerry, as long as I can wash, wax, black out the tyres and dust and hoover on arrival (oh, and have it parked under the marque in case of rain) 90 miles ain't so bad.

Re: Lotus Festival 2012 18-19 August
Latest information received from Paul Golding:
Update website – http://www.lotus-festival.com – Now Up! We are mentioned.
We can have an Excel club stand / display / parking area
First 30 cars email (or PM) to me with car type and reg number and you will be posted a pair of complimentary Sunday tickets early July.
Remember that although the focus may be 50 years of the Elan, it is also 30 years since the Excel appeared so there is an opportunity here.
Please let me know if you are going as soon as possible and I will liaise with Paul to organise tickets.
PM your car details and address to me for posting out of tickets.

Re: Lotus Festival 2012 18-19 August
Please count me in for two tickets. (email sent)
I only live a few miles from Brands .
The Excel has been off the road for a couple of years, so this will give me the impetus I need. I know she will start OK, so a cambelt change and an MoT and we're off.
