CHANGE OF DATE TO 30TH APRIL 2022

We have a change of date for 2022 because the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations has meant that the traditional late Spring Bank Holiday on the last weekend of May has been moved to the first weekend in June. This has disrupted the British motor racing calendar and consequently Castle Combe have been forced to re-schedule their own events calendar. We have therefore had to move our annual trackday to Saturday April 30th although everything else will remain as usual. Track packages are still only £99 for members and we are now taking bookings - either book through the website (online bookings only available to 1pm 27th April) or just call Club HQ on 01362 691144 or 694459. We will be reverting to our usual late May Bank Holiday Saturday date in 2023.

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

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

All Club Lotus members who own an Elan have been invited by the organisers to take part in a Parade Lap at the Silverstone Classic to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Lotus Elan. The Parade Lap will be during the lunch break on Saturday August 27th and the actual timing of the parade will be advised nearer the day to all who register their interest at Club HQ and buy appropriate ticket(s) to the event using our unique Club Lotus discount code. More information will be in the April edition of Club Lotus News but we also want to draw your attention to the ticket price rise on Friday 1 April - book before then if you can. Any members who'd like some more information on the parade lap plus our member ticket discount should contact Club HQ. Please note that all track parades are subject to weather conditions and the racing programme running to schedule on the day.
