The buses will run from 9am with more frequent buses at the start of the day and less frequent until 5pm. There will be Lotus guides to help assist you at these locations.

Hopefully it’s ok to do this? 

I have a standard (yellow) car (Lotus cars only) entry pass and two tickets available after now receiving a club pass.
Obviously I don’t want these wasted as there was such demand. So hopefully someone can make use of them.

Thanks for the info.  I have a yellow car pass but not sure I trust the car at the moment if I end up queuing for a long time so am considering the bus option!

I guess if you're going to break down in a Lotus, Potash lane next Saturday is probably the best place on the planet to get expert help !

Hi Paul and Bibs, thanks 

 but got a call this morning that my trip to the UK was cancelled instead I am coming over somewhere next week.  

[PaulLF1]

Thanks RIck for the update, spare ticket going if anyone wants it?

[Giniw]

@Bibs > sorry to ask again but as far as I understood it's one coloured sticker per car, and up to two persons in the car, and each person in the car must have his own ticket, right?

@RODOLPHESPRIT

[Bibs]

Yup.

[Giniw]

Thanks a lot =)

[RODOLPHESPRIT]

Oh!!!!!!

its not one ticket per car ( 2 people on it ) ?

[Bibs]

No, which is why we you have been sent 2 tickets per requested car pass.

Didn't manage to get tickets 

In the unlikely event anyone hears of any available ones, please shout; would love to be able to take our 260,000 mile Elise and my son if we can - we did the 60th in our Turbo Esprit...

I may have a lead on Facebook which I'm following up - you never know!

Have a great time everyone.

Dropped the car at detailers this morning to look nice for the weekend..........

If you've seen my posts in the Evora picture thread, I am now past caring. I have my detailing kit with me which may or may not get used before the event depending on the performance of Eurotunnel on Friday afternoon and my subsequent performance on the M25. 

Any awards going for the filthiest car in attendance could well be coming my way!

Sorry @C8RKH

😂

Nah - my Elise daily driver *may* get a quick wash tomorrow - but she'll look shabby compared to the other cars there I recon - 260,000 miles of wear and tear on display!

Will there be any catering / burger vans / grub available on site

 

A non ticket question for you @Bibs

[Bazza 907]

Do we need a ticket for the catering/burger vans/grub?

This is quite possibly the most important question on this thread 🙂

[Bibs]

Yes. There will also be air available for breathing.

From the FAQ on www.lotus70.com

Q – Will food & drink be available?

A – There will be a range of outlets able to supply you with food & drinks at the event.

Next? 

[CocoPops]

Will there be new model launches?

Is there a site map?

Will it be a cashless site or should we bring bundles of cash?

[Bibs]

There's a track activity at 11am, who knows what they mean by 'Special Cars' though, I certainly don't and even if I did it would be pretty reckless to announce it online a few days before the event.
