Classic Team Lotus and Lotus are opening the doors to the iconic Hethel site on Saturday, 24 October 2026, for a historic charity showcase celebrating 60 Years of Lotus in Norfolk.

The event brings together decades of legendary motorsport heritage and cutting-edge automotive engineering for a single, extraordinary day of track action and exclusive access. Attendees will witness iconic Lotus Formula 1 cars from across the decades returning to the track, alongside displays of historic Lotus road cars spanning the site’s 60-year history.

In addition to live dynamic track demonstrations, ticket holders will gain rare behind-the-scenes access to explore the state-of-the-art Lotus Emira production facility, as well as up-close views of today’s modern high-performance road car lineup, including the 2,000 PS hypercar, the Lotus Evija.

All admission ticket proceeds from the event will directly benefit Priscilla Bacon Hospice, a local charity providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care for patients and families across Norfolk.

  • Date: Saturday, 24 October 2026
  • Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Car parks open at 9:00 AM)
  • Location: Lotus Factory & Test Track, Hethel, Norfolk, NR14 8EY
  • Admission: Strictly Advance Ticket Only via lotusf1show.com
  • Pricing: Adults £40 | Children (6–16) £10 | Under 6s Free (All proceeds go to Priscilla Bacon Hospice)

To ensure an optimal visitor experience, manage local traffic, and guarantee smooth site access, tickets are strictly capped at just 1,200 adult passes. Dedicated internal parking will be provided for visitors attending in Lotus road cars, with free parking available on-site for non-Lotus vehicles.

Due to the rarity of public access to the Hethel test track and facility, organisers anticipate high demand and urge attendees to secure their tickets early.

“Celebrating six decades of Lotus in Norfolk with a dedicated track showcase of our historic Formula 1 machinery is a monumental milestone. Being able to share this legacy with enthusiasts while raising vital funds for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice makes it a truly special occasion for everyone involved.”
