Did anyone else notice the smashed smart phone lying in the track just after the start/finish gantry during the parade laps?

Oops, I guess someone's passenger didn't anticipate the acceleration to 15mph, of course!

Thanks Yasuo for these

That'll be mine,  . Stuck my 'chavvy' mis-spaced (A  L07US  A) show plate on top of my road legal one with some sticky tabs. Stayed put all the way down to Spain and back, was there at the start of the parade and gone by the finish.

They can hang on to it as a display piece for the new museum when it's built,  .

I've already put a post on Facebook on the Lotus 70th page. Basically me and my misses decided to take some pictures and videos of everyone entering the track, you might have seen us standing there as entered the long straight(Mansell strraight if I'm correct)Where everyone did 15mph... 

I've started uploading them on YouTube under "Lotus arriving at Hethel test track 70th". My misses was taking pics as well which she said when she gets time she will go through them and edit them.

The first pic and video we took was at 08:23 and was a red Esprit SE high wing and the last car we shot was a yellow Evora 400 at roughly 09:21. If you did arrive between those times there's a good chance we've captured you. My internet at home is a bit slow so I'm uploading them at work, I've still got some more to but I should be done by the end of the week.....

@martynv I definitely got you..

[Phil S1 48]

Here's a few from me...

I have never seen a Lotus Carlton estate. Didn't even know that one existed.

It’s not a factory built car. The guy built it himself using all original parts.

[Iain 44 1 Vehicles]

We wondered that too - thanks for info!

Gutted I missed this. Couldn’t really get the time away from work and was having new carpets fitted on the morning of the event.  Only realised it was being live streamed towards the end so tuned in and what did I see on track? My old car!
