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.

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

 

[Flibster]

Will any Lotus Cortinas be present?

From what I gather - the Great Train Robbery one.

Lotus T127 confirmed as running!

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

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

I knew they were doing some video that day...

Lets hope more is made available.

The 38 is in the UK Oh, the reason the Type 38 wasn't there is.... Ford apparently.

They insisted that the car would be unveiled at Goodwood FoS.... Great... after it'd been advertised to be attending the event.

Haven't even started going through my photos yet. Got a few *I hope* of Heikki and Fairuz going at each other in the 72 and the 78. Funny that Jarno was taking it easy, but the other two were not being gentle.

Was good to see the 56 in the daylight again. I really hope the plans to eventually get it running actually happen. Having a gas turbine powered 4wheel drive F1 car running would be so much fun to see.

Out of the non-F1 stuff. I love the Evora 414e. Paint scheme is superb and the idea behind it is one of the best hybrid ideas around.

Also, the Stratton Motor Company racing Astons in the classic touring cars were fantastic. Not just because they were proper racing classics - but as one has the drivers door coming open every other lap and the other with the arse out every time out of Russell
