Guys/Gals I have been asked by the factory to gauge interest in a day out around Hethel, itinerary as below. This would not be a track day but you get to drive the cicuit and hot laps from the factory drivers.
[color:“blue”]As discussed we would like to hold a day at Lotus for Exiges.com members. This e-mail is to gauge interest in the event.
The day would offer attendees the opportunity to spend the day being hosted by Lotus Sport at Hethel and may include the following: (exact details to be confirmed).
-Factory tour
-View the Lotus Sport workshop
-Circuit Driving session
-Demonstration laps in Exige S or 2-Eleven
The cost of this event will be �199 per person.
Proposed date for the event is 6th July.
The maximum number of attendees will be 24. If there is not enough take up for the event, then it will not take place.
Went along to the evening they hosted for SELOC. Very interesting evening with a teaser of the Eagle on the test track in the distance, brief factory tour, hot lap in an Elise S, tour of the Lotus Sport workshops, Sandwiches and a question and answer session with Nick Adams. Best of all the evening was free.
For the �199 quoted I’d like to know what the Circuit Driving Session would amount to. Any ideas?
Ahhhhh, thats changes things somewhat - will we be allowed / encouraged to drive (ala Bedford) or will we be constantly reigned in.
Never been to a Lotus event before so not sure of their ‘policy’.

I’ve driven S2 Exiges round Hethel a couple of times on ‘business’ and not once been told to slow down. As we went flying past one of my Japanese collegues the guy with me laughed and said “I bet he though he was going quickly until then.”
As above count me in assuming we get to a place where it looks like �199 is reasonable vfm.
Agree with Ben - count me in - also with this being the sunday 6th what about a few beers and a curry the night before somewhere ? after all its a 150 miles from the midlands to hethel according to multimap !

Also gets my vote. Although seeing as it’s Oulton the weekend before I can’t see it will be too popular with my missus…
