Lotus on track days

Post by macca16 » Sun Jan 26, 2025 6:16 pm

I’m aiming to get a little further afield this year albeit still within the UK.

I’ve booked Croft on the 7th July, which will be my third year.

Also booked Donnington and Oulton on 27th and 28th October, both will be firsts for me.

Looking forward to them!

All three cracking circuits.

Steve has booked Croft and I'm tempted to do the same.

Always a decent turn out at the Donny / Oulton double header.

Normally stay at the Premier inn or the radisson at donny and Northwich Sandiway Premier Inn for oulton.
Last years curry was here which was excellent - https://www.orissadonington.com/menu/

A few folks are doing Donny on the 24th of Feb too!

:thumbsup :drive :cheers

Anyone an LoT member and could check the cost of their day at Cadwell on 31 May?? I'm no longer a member, and can't see the price without joining. Thanks

Thanks for the info.

24th Feb might be a stretch, need to get the car in and out of Craig’s before any track days this year.

:shock: £299. Robust pricing...

But thanks for checking. Cheers

Some of us did Silverstone recently, £429 I think it was plus £70 for second driver with Silverstone direct.

They charge up to £999 for a track day on the GP circuit! :shock:

Donny on the 24th of Feb was great day out, looking forward to the next one! :drive

See you at Croft and you can show me the way to go as I have never been there before. Looking forward to it as LOT days are run very well and it should be fun trying to learn a new circuit too.


Steve.

Ps. I will be in a Red Exige, so come and say hello. :cheers

Thats me booked for Croft, it'll be the Elise's first outing on track since the incident at Oulton. So fingers crossed to complete the day.

Bloody hell. A grand? Cheaper at Spa. And more hills Image

Had fancied the Silverstone GP but not at that price.
