Would anyone be interested in joining the Lotus Drivers Club at this years sprinting event held at Curborough? Photos from 2013.

Thursday 15 May 2014

The date for this years introduction to trackdays and sprinting event is Thursday 15th of May. This is a brilliant chance for anyone with little or no experience of sprinting or trackdays. The controlled environment will allow you to learn to push yourself and your car as far as you with no other cars on circuit at the same time to worry about.

I was there with the peugeot sport club so loads of 205's & 309's, a couple with Mi16 conversions, and a tricked up golf.

My first real play in the Elise and I was the fastest of the day, it did me proud, oh and the sun was out so I was also topless :bravo
Cheers

I went last year and the weather was sublime, much better than the previous year which was extremely wet, but still fun!

If anyone wants to come this year, everyone is welcome. It is also not strictly just for Lotus cars, there's usually a nice selection on the day.

Sound good to me. I was thinking about entering the Blyton LOT sprint round in July 12 & 13 as it's a double header as an intro to sprinting also?
