Bazza 907 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Weather likely to be a bit hit and miss? Is the August Bank holiday like 2015 a non-starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooms are £134 per night on the Brooklands website so that sounds like a great deal 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Al Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Mmmm. Bummer. You have moved it by a few weeks so it falls outside my rota again. Normally if something stays the same date you alternate being at home/away when working 4 weeks on 4 weeks off as 13 rotations. Hey ho can't be helped. Saves me the grief of getting a weekend pass.

ChrisJ Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 The Duxford Spring Car show is normally on that Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I can see if the 2nd Sunday in May is available again? Better to miss the Duxford show (will many Lotus owners go there instead) or better to have it on the BH weekend? I can even move it a week forward to be in late April but the later, the more luck we may have with the weather. I don't know if anyone remembers but it did rain a little last time we did in in April.

ChrisJ Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 There's been around 20-30 at the Duxford show the last couple of years - more when the weather is fine. I think it would be a shame to miss it - especially as we seem to have grabbed the best display location. I'd like to go to both, but would probably go to the MBW do if pushed to choose.

dave excell Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 We would always join in these events but May 2016 means the Historic Monaco on the weekend of the 14th and 15th May, where we can see Lotus win again, followed by the classic Mille Miglia from the 19th to the 22nd May. Then later on in the year is the Classic Le Mans on the 8th, 9th and 10th July. see you at the Christmas party/dinner If we can make it to Brooklands we will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martynv Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I had 44 Cars signed up for Duxford last year and with single entries on the day that would have been 50 cars I reckon if it hadn't poured with rain early on.

Bibs Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hethel is not a good location to organise an event in terms of location and the logistics of dealing with them so this will remain at MBW. It's also going to be the 8th May (last year was the 10th May) so we're setting a '2nd Sunday in May' tradition. I'm just awaiting confirmation from Brooklands before I announce it. MBW have the time set aside for us for all of their facilities already. We had 150 cars in the first year, almost 300 last year so I'd love to see closer to 500 this year and moving it about will not help with that. 2 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

theelanman Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I thought that might be the case.........just the joy of having track 'action' might have been a draw... altho' its one of the pre 95 track day things.......but itd get most people included..... ah well.....cool...... cant wait.....
