Fancy an evening at Brands?

Others welcome at Lotus Club event


Lotus Sport Exige on track

What better way to spend a summer's evening than in the company of other Lotus owners at the UK's premier race circuit, Brands Hatch?

Come to the Brands Hatch Lotus Summer BBQ, and join hundreds of other Lotus owners for what is expected to be the best Lotus evening of the year -- VX220s and Caterfields also welcome. It's at the height of summer and in the same week that Brands holds its top car meet of 2006: DTM (German Touring Cars) from 30 June.

The evening is being organised by Lotus on Track (LoT), SELOC, Motorsport Vision, and Kent Lotus and supported by Kent's new Lotus main dealer -- Lipscomb Lotus -- opening summer 2006.

  • Free summer BBQ which is being provided by Kent's new main dealer, Lipscomb Lotus
  • See the latest range of Lotus cars provided by Lipscomb Lotus and Lotus.
  • Parking for all Lotus along Colin Chapman Way - from the circuit entrance right up to the Kentagon restaurant.
  • 'Walk the Circuit' from 20.15 -- you really can't tell how steep Paddock Hill Bend is until you've tried walking up it.
  • Put your driving skills to the test on the LoT Elise Simulator and win tickets to Brands Hatch race meets including the FIM World Superbike Championship.
  • Meet Gavan Kershaw and maybe even be lucky enough to have a pax lap round the world-famous Brands Hatch circuit.
  • Driving techniques Q&A with Andy Walsh of from Car Limits.
  • Meet members of Kent Lotus the largest and most active Lotus group in Kent and find out what events they do and how you can join them. Also a chance for other regional groups to recruit more members and maybe organise runs to Brands for the evening.
  • Take part as Lotus owners race around the circuit on foot -- fancy yourself as a bit of an athlete -- or at least someone who can jog 1.2 miles -- then why not take part as well?
  • See what happens at a track day with the LoT track day running from 17.30-20.00 - unfortunately this day has been full for some weeks now.
  • View the many different types of Lotus expect to turn up including converted cars currently being brought along by -- Maidstone Sports Cars, Sinclaire of London, and others to be announced.
  • Learn about the all new Lotus on Track invitation race series that kicks off in 2007.

More items will be announced over coming weeks -- and if you have something to offer that may be of interest to those attending please email david (at) seloc.org, paul (at) lotus-on-track.com or kmo (at) kentlotus.org.

If you would like to attend please add yourself to this events table on SELOC and complete the box to say if you are bringing a passenger or no - this will ensure you get a band for the free BBQ. Alternatively just email as above and we will add you to the list and ensure there is enough BBQ for everyone.

Have been for quite some time I thought. Sort of a generic term for the general Lotus 7-style car.

Anyone going?

Dont think so, just a bbq and a showroom cars from Lipscomb and maybe MSC and Sinclaires
(but if its factory parts, you could probably order in advance and collect off them on the night)

but if you email Paul Golding I'm sure he'll give you some info
