Jonathan Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Was going to go with the Elise crew this summer but side-stepped it (fewl) In light of the hugely succesful factory day I just wanna get out and go up there again ! Lotus F1/racing is really my passion so it's a no-brainer for me - I've actually got an invitation here with contact details and so on + what the day includes : * Welcome by Clive Chapman * Tour of the workshops * Pitstop wheel change challeneg * Racing history presentation * Photo opportunities and so on. Link is Classic Team Lotus I know we're running out of good days this year but it's all inside by the looks of things so weather shouldn't be too harsh - 1/2 tempted to hole up at the golf club again for the night (as long as the night porter doesn't phone me up in the middle of the night to tell me my fookin car has no ### plate on it again ) Quote facebook = [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also film of Fitipaldi driving the F1 car at Festival of Speed 2005 - awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time next year - be good to get date in diary and something else to look forward to - even if 12 months time.

Tentenths Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 How did I miss this before? Definitely count me in for this Jono... for visit and overnighting at the Wensum Valley. Wonder if they're open at weekends? If so maybe we could do Classic Team Lotus on, say, Saturday and then Snetterton on the Sunday?

Jonathan Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I understand it is too close to the previous meet - why dont we pencil it in for march or something next year ? Personally I'm a rain or shine chap but something this special I would rather go on a day that I would enjoy more (ie dry and cold....gotta think of them turbos). After what MJK said about bringing everyone back to the factory I had wondered what more us owners can do for the place on and off the field as it were.
