Lotus scare yourself sensible and subcequent licences

[LOTUS F1]

I'm thinking of doing this!

Anyone done it? worth it? good for you?

Your shared experiences would appreciated.

I organised a NYLOC trip down for SYS. 10 of us ended up doing it and had a fine day out which included the Classic Team Lotus tour as well. The track driving was excellent, but short. They do encourage you to really press on, but 20 mins was insufficient really. As an experience/day out, it was great but I'd suggest the bronze licence as being the better option for really getting to grips with an Elise at speed. Hope that helps, drop me a PM if you want anything else.

Go for it, you will love it. You will find just how far you can push these little beasts, especially when the instructor takes you for a few hot laps

Over the past few years Ive done the scare yourself sensible & finished with the Gold license in 2009. Absolutely fantastic

Did the Silver licence before i bought my car,really enjoyed it/learned a great deal especially after driving FWD hatches for many years.
Downside is its quite dear but they do provide the cars,fuel and insurance

We did driver training in 2000 and was worth it. Do it you will enjoy it.

do you have to start at bronze first before doign silver or can you go straight onto the silver ?

[Mrs Muttleysnoop]

Normally you have to start with the bronze licence.

if you have done driver training elsewhere they seem to accept that to allow going straight to silver. Dealer included bronze as part of deal for my Elise Lotus upgraded to Silver for £150 after I confirmed that I had done BMW fahrer training. I haven't taken it up yet going this Spring
