Race Car Live featuring LoTRDC - Brands Hatch 29/10/06

Post by 83Excel »

FREE entry - anyone else going?

Following info posted from SELOC invite:
Calling all LoT & SELOC members. Autumn Lotus meet

Race Car Live! takes place this Sunday at Brands Hatch, and you could
win* the ride of a lifetime in the sensational Minardi F1x2!

This will be the first time a contemporary F1 car has appeared at
Brands Hatch since the late 1990s, when teams such as Williams used
to test at the famous Kent circuit. The Minardi F1x2 car is powered
by a 700bhp-plus V10 racing engine, as used in 2001, and features the
same type of chassis construction, suspension, brakes and tyres as a
2006-spec Formula One car.

Fancy a day out meeting other Lotus owners as well as seeing some
motorsport up close and maybe even having a few pax laps around the
UK's premier circuit Brands Hatch.

LoTRDC (Lotus on Track Racing Drivers Club) would like to invite you
along to Brands Hatch on Sunday 29th October to Race Car Live!

There will be Lotus only parking along Colin Chapman way, just as we
did back in June when over 300 Lotus turned up for the LoT evening
BBQ in the rain.

LoTRDC will have a couple of garages with the Elise simulator set up
offering you the chance to win some great Lotus and Motorsport
prizes. Have a drink and a nibble on us.

Everyone who has a go on the Simulator will receive a voucher for a
free ticket to the opening round of the LoTRDC Elise Trophy at Brands
Hatch next March. Scuffers, Walshy and Steve Williams will be doing
hot laps in their Elise race cars. Find out more about how you can
follow the inaugural LoTRDC Elise Trophy 2007.

''Whether you're looking for your 2007 motorsport challenge or going
car racing for the first time, Race Car Live! is a shop window in
which you can see the cars on track, talk to the organisers and, if
you're serious, try them out yourself.

Now in its third year, Race Car Live presents a selection of car
manufacturers, championships, series and clubs in their most natural
environment and at one of the UK's most prestigious venues.

Dozens of teams and organisations will be on hand, demonstrating
their cars around the Indy circuit to show you what you could be
racing next season. Single-seaters, touring cars, sports cars and
more will be on display, including Formula Palmer Audi, T Cars,
Radicals and Ginettas.

What's more, to see what you could be driving at the very highest
level, a contemporary Formula One car will grace Brands Hatch as
ex-F1 and A1GP star Patrick Friesacher pilots the fantastic Minardi
two-seater. If that`s not enough, Renault will also be attending with
a static display of their 2006 F1 racer, which by Race Car LIVE! might
even be a World Champion!''

Gates open to the public at 8.30am but we'd suggest you arrive
between 11am and 3pm.

Mini F56 John Cooper Works for the laydee

Hi Colin the BRG Excel is my car, had it since may.
We enjoyed the event, there was a lot of new Lotus's is this normal at Lotus events? At least 3 Excel's, an Elan +2 and a Europa was there to represent the older cars.

Noticed the R888s, so had a sneaking suspicion it was yours. Mine was the blue one about 25 yards from yours.

There are always a lot of Elises and derivatives around, paricularly if the event has anything to do with SELOC, however there are plenty of other models at the larger meets. We had a good display of Excels at Donnington in March (15 IIRC from this forum alone).

That Europa was an absolute peach.

That was probably me (the red e-reg, that is).

There were a few nice Esprits attending also.
