Just realised that it's not really been posted up on here, but now that Lotus have got their own page posted up on their site it seems a good time to add it...

Lotus Festival, August 18th/19th

Lotus Festival is at Brands Hatch this year and looks like a fantastic line-up. Went along for the first time last year at Snetterton and will be camping this year with the rest of the SELOC guys. Brilliant mix of racing with the Lotus Cup UK, Elise Trophy, single seaters and saloon cars, along with on track demos from Lotus Racing, Classic Team Lotus and the Exige R-GT on the tarmac rally stage.

Anyone else going along?

I'll be there with the Esprit. Anyway, Brands is only 1/2 hr up the road so it'd be rude not to...

[Blipi]

Will be there, hopefully with other M100 crew and camping in the SELOC site.

Really looking forward to it.

Please say 'hi' if you see me, would be great to meet other Lotus owners from PH. You'll recognise my car by the Blip plate (Red Elan), maybe the only girl owner there with the other Elans.

Just had a look and think I've got a picture of your car last year, in the line up of Elans in the campsite

Second red car in?

Hello!

[Thorburn]

Today is the last day for camping tickets and discounted advance ticket orders for the weekend.

[Delberto]

Weather forecast looks good for this.

[Blipi]

Switching from looking good to not-so!

Packing brolly and suncream!

[bobo]

yes... flash floods + torrential rain ...

will sort out the men from the boys

[Thorburn]

So better weather than Snetterton last year then.

Taking too much stuff to fit in the Elise so worst case I can sleep in the back of the Subaru.

[marshalla]

b*m! got to work through the weekend.

Have fun, everyone.

[The Pits]

Planning to go up in the Elise for the day tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to it.

Can I request lots of photos please, especially of the new V6 cars

Thankyou.

[Arun_D]

First time at the Lotus Festival. Will have my Exige S on the Exige Cup stand near the Kentagon tomorrow, as part of the promotions for the new V6 Cup car.

[The Pits]

yup taking the Canon so will return with photos.

[anonymous-user]

Surprised how few people there were today, hope it picks up tomorrow. Arrived after 12:00 thinking it would be full but the south bank was almost empty.
