LOTUS REVIVES 'TEAM LOTUS'
Lotus has revived 'Team Lotus' – but not in its hitherto traditional F1 guise. In their own words, ‘Team Lotus is a global community, bringing together passionate racers, fans, and partners who share a love for motorsport. The return of Team Lotus signifies our commitment to global competition and motorsports culture’.

ORIGINAL LOTUS FACTORY UNDER THREAT FROM DEVELOPMENT
We've just learnt that the first Lotus factory in Tottenham Lane, Hornsey is being surveyed for re-development, possibly housing. The site is classed as a 'Locally Significant Industrial Site' which gives a degree of protection but by no means a 100% guarantee it will be protected. Members and all Lotus enthusiasts are strongly encouraged to lobby Haringey Council for its continued preservation under the Council's Heritage Policies.
SILVERSTONE FESTIVAL TICKET BOOKING DEADLINE EXTENDED TO END OF JULY
The Festival organisers have just told us that the booking deadline for Car Club ticket packages has been extended until 31st July (unless tickets sell out before!). Club packages are incredible value and remember that all of them include a priceless free infield parking pass to our club stand. In our opinion it’s the best classic and race festival in the UK and with our member discounts certainly the best value.
