I’m in the same boat, waiting for an i4. Possibly 2024/25 before it comes to Sweden. Only 4(!) V6 FE allocated this year to us up in the north. Well, well - I’ll have to live with the F-Type another year or rwo then

Anyone fluent in greek that can translate this press release into english (or swedish…)? I’m either getting old or I’ve been out of Lotus ownership to long to get what this is about.

Now there is a video from the event as well: Not mine, but produce on behalf of the club

Brilliant day at Ring Knutstorp last Sunday. 70+ cars in three different groups took term on track. The weather was our side as well. A bit chilly in the morning, but blue sky and dry. Caterham Nordic was there as well as the only Lotus dealer in Sweden, Bilhallen. Next track day will be Sviestad outside Linköping in August.

[Sweden] Swedish Lotus in the Alps & Dolomites ’22

Now we have 12 cars confirmed, soon time to put a cap on this in order to keep it manageble -
Lotus factory tours - are back...
CaptainSlow replied to exeterjeep's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
Makes you wonder what is happening with the Evija. Judging by those that has been on the factory tour lately, the Evija production is not part of the tour. Odd, given that the Evija is claimed as the ”halo model”. -

Time to take the ferry to one of the best (and most remote) tracks in Northern Europe. Gotland Ring is situated in an old limestone quarry at the island of Gotland. Unless you are local it takes some effort to come here. There are ferries departing either from Oskarshamn or Nynäshamn. Do check out the guideat https://rejsa.nu/bana_info.asp?gotland Please contact me via PM if you are interested. Information is also posted at http://lccs.nu (in Swedish).

On August 6 2022 we (as in Lotus Car Club of Sweden) arrange a track day at Sviestad (near Linköping). Situated 2 hours drive south of Stockholm. This track is narrow but works well for Lotus cars. The club has been here before. Please contact me via PM for more information. Or take a look at the Swedish web site in case you master the language, http://lccs.nu For more information about the track itself, check out this excellentguide: https://rejsa.nu/bana_info.asp?sviestad

Dates are now confirmed for our track days in 2022. First out is the now classic one at Ring Knutstorp. On May 1st 2022 we (as in Lotus Car Club of Sweden) arrange a track day at Ring Knutstorp in the south of Sweden. This track is brilliant for Lotus cars and usually the weather is great in the beginning of May. Please contact me via PM for more information.

Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors
CaptainSlow replied to Eagle7's topic in Emira Chat
Great work with the renderings. I do hope that there will be more colors to choose from (or to special order) by the time the i4 is being put into production. I loved the Motorsport black I had on my Evora. Almost become bronze in the sun. Then turning black when in the shadows. Adding some golden stripes and wheels plus red mirrors... -
I'm more than happy with sports cars that can be taken to the track without having to modify them. At least here, the track limits are 95 dBa out on the track. So, many either have to short shift or change the factory exhaust to a quieter aftermarket system. Several friends in the Swedish club have got black flagged with standard Exige and Evora. Not to mention those with the titanium option, total waste of money.

Track! Will you actually take this gorgeous car on a track day?
CaptainSlow replied to Evotion's topic in Emira Chat
Did 3-4 per year in my Evora. Will likely do the same with the Emira. -
