Postby alan e » Thu 23.01.2025, 14:43

Our annual track day at Castle Combe takes place on Saturday 24th May. It’s always one of our most enjoyable events of the year and is a great Club Lotus day out as well as a brilliant value and safe track day exclusively for Lotus cars.

Track packages are £115

Please note: You must be a member of Club Lotus in order to purchase the track driving packages

If you want to come along and spectate - please do! It's free and you don't need to be a Club Lotus member. The track action starts at 9am and ends at 5pm

* Just a note from Our Man On The Spot (i.e. me): The Burton Hill campsite is still in operation, but Bank Holiday bookings will be filling up fast, and Clemo/Pinky - who normally book it - are away in The Gambia at present. I can make some reservations if required, but I’ll need an idea of numbers. The Spice Merchant is also still running; reservations for that could be left till later, because they’ll make special arrangements for us if necessary (as long as we don’t want the whole restaurant like we did in 2019!). Finally, the Smoking Dog is being refurbished and expected to reopen “in late Spring”; no word yet on a beer and sausage festival though.

@Joao......... the traditional ethos is that the 'list starter' becomes the organiser by default :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

So, it looks like you are organising the camping - thank you!

(okay, so I'm not insisting that you do it - but it may be handy for someone to get onto it soon.)

As Jonathan says, Burton Hill gets booked up early, and it has good facilities/location..... but the one we used last year was cheaper, with less facilities, but I thought it was adequate (clean shower/toilets) but everywhere is a (short) drive away....... local breakfast at Pit Stop is good though!

I am happy to stay at either, but would suggest that we need to make enquiries asap.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

as with previous years, i will join most of the group gatherings of the weekend, but will certainly lean away from indian food (previously it was a preference, but now is a medical recomendation)

if all plans fall apart. walsall is less than 2 hours drive, im always covered :lol:
