Lotus on Track- opinions?
Is anyone a member or has been on any of their events?
I went along with a number of other Locostbuilders to the Brands Hatch day in June (thanks, Shortie), but that was just watching, so I was wondering
if anyone has participated in an LoT day anywhere?
With my car on the road for nearly a year, I thought it was about time to try it out on a track.
Thanks in advance.

Shortie , Ned , DLT and I went to their very wet trackday/evening at Brands in May.
The VX and Elise owners accepted a measly Locost OK.
DLT enjoyed it so much he bought the car!!(vx220)

So do you have to be a (paid-up?) member to go to their trackdays?
I also went along to watch the racing at Brands in their box (thanks again Shortie!) and had a great time.

Hmmphhhhhh! Don't remind me of that day!.....
DLT muscled in with my Lotus on Track membership and my trackday payment......on that very wet day .....while I didn't make
it......
The plus side is that we now have a wet and dry track day toy.........so smiles all round.....again.......eventually......

bear in mind life membership is only £60 odd and with the free tickets you can get to the brands hospitality box and entry to events and good value
trackday's you quickly save the money back.

I joined them in February and have since been on four of their track days (Silverstone GP twice, Rockingham, and Brands Indy). They're an
excellent bunch, with a lot of good drivers with good track etiquette, and cars of similar ability. I'd recommend them very highly.
