Classic Team Lotus Festival - June 20th - Snetterton

[Flibster]

Ultra rare appearance of the Type 38, first UK public appearance of the T127, more than likely the 18, 72, 49, 88, 81 and 25.
Jarno Trulli, Heikki Kovalainen and Fairuz Fauzy are going to be there as well.

And racing events too *including a BMW event, but can't have everything...*

Should be good.

We'll be there but will have been to a Summer Ball on the Saturday so god knows what time we'll rock up and what state we'll be in!

 

[Flibster]

I can give you a wake up call in the morning on my way past?

You'll only wake the cat, were staying at the hotel where the ball is at

Looks like I shall be attenting with afew others. PBMW should be good although slightly dissappointing at the same time as one of my mates isn't racing this year.

You can book your tickets in advance here, £20 instead of the £25 on the gate.

Finally taken the time to have a proper read through the Festival website. Should be a fantastic day out, just need to purchase a new camera now.

I got my tickets in the post for this today

Dunno if i should take the DSLR or just the TZ10, only lens i would take on the DSLR is 24-70 and when i usually shoot at Snetterton i use a 200 with 2x extender for track stuff.

But then i know if i dont hulk around the DSLR i will wish i had it with me

Pretty sure half of the people here won't even know what you are talking about

Will any Lotus Cortinas be present?

From what I gather - the Great Train Robbery one.

The one that went for 100k in an auction no less

Stupidly double booked myself for the Silverstone Classic in July and want to catch some classic touring car action some time.

Mine too, cant wait Debating on if it would be wise to get there as early as possible or brave arriving at 9ish. Want a semi decent spot for the track action. Not been to Snetterton for ages and have only managed to get Bomb Hole/Coram area with the people I went with.

Ack, I'm on holiday for this, I'd love to go. Make sure you take photos guys! If you've never heard an F1 car before, it's a real treat too.

Going to do it's installation laps to check everything before being sent out to Spain.

Woop! Looks like Mike Gascoyne & Martin Brundle will also be there driving Type 49 & the 72.

[Flibster]

Will Gascoyne fit in the 49? He's not exactly the same width as Clark or Hill...

 

[Pete19s]

I would be more concerned about the whole Chapman ethos of "Simplify and then add lightness" going straight out the window. Mike if by some fluke you are reading this, don't hunt me down and slap me on Sunday.

 

[drunken fool]

[Flibster]
