NedaSay 899 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 So they are now a franchise ran from an office in Kent but operating on the factory track and using former Lotus motorsport staff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,427 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Ah, an office in Kent, you say? ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainSlow 293 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Noticed that they schedule courses until December. What is the conditions typically in October/November? In Sweden we typically tuck away our toy cars by that time of year. Tempted but not able to fit it into my schedule in August or September. Or should I wait until next year (April/May)?

Bravo73 1,427 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I didn't doubt you for a second. But we all know who also lives in Kent. He's in Ryarsh though, not West Malling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having the opportunity to bring the Lotus Driving Academy back to its rightful home, was too good an opportunity to miss. It’s a huge privilege and we want to make sure that it’s the most informative and enjoyable driving experience out there.We’ve just received our brand-new Elise Sport 220’s (in both left and right-hand drive configurations) and flagship Exige Sport 350.

And if you can’t see what you are after, we’ll also create a custom course, please just ask us.And whilst we have lots of new elements to our programmes, we’ve kept the unique elements that the Academy has always delivered. That includes a fleet of skilled instructors with deep Lotus knowledge including Martin Donnelly and Dave Minter.

Popular Post PAR 306 Posted December 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi, just went back from a day at the lotus driving academy and wanted to say how great it was. We went with my brother and enjoyed the instruction of Martin Donnelly and he is great fun outside of the car as well. We had a really interesting visit of the factory and of classic team lotus. Really a great day out, we strongly recommend it! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post PAR 306 Posted December 2, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 We had the bronze license. This included 3 on track sessions of 20 Minutes, a visit of the factory and of classic team lotus. We had two sessions on the north track to get familiar with the car and the breaking and work the apex then à sessions on the south track where we work faster curbs. I am really keen to go back and step it up 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister_Tad 53 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thread bump - has anyone attended the 3-day Lotus License? Anything to report? I was planning to book for April or May - fail on my part, but still some slots later in the summer available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PAR 306 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Planning to go back for the silver day this year and seeing your message, looks like I need to hurry to get a slot! Edited February 9, 2018 by PAR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister_Tad 53 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Seems to be the Gold that's most limited (and as such the 3-days), a few more dates available for Silver. I've gone ahead and booked the three days for June, which was the first availability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
