Thousands attend Lotus festival

SAM EMANUEL
15 June 2009

Thousands of people flocked to a Norfolk race circuit this weekend to watch and take part in a record-breaking car festival.

The two-day Lotus Festival at Snetterton saw more than 430 Lotus car drivers from around the country take to the track at the same time, and the festival organisers hope the parade will be confirmed as an official record within the next six months. Previously, the world record was a parade of 313 Lotus cars, completed at the Brands Hatch race circuit in Kent in 2007.

By Ash Simmonds.

So one evening last week whilst enjoying a steak with some mates at Gauchos on Gouger I get a text from James from the Supercar Club saying he needs a car transported sometime in the next couple days, and given:

• it’s a long weekend
• everyone else has family stuff to do
• I’m inherently unlovable
• nobody would care if I disappeared without warning

…it seems I was an obvious choice for the task.

The best part of the news – the car which needed to be transported is one of my top 5 dream cars, way above Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Mach 5, probably almost on par with the Batmobile…

Allow me to present the Lotus Exige S.

Another great day at Eastern Creek was had by all.

But not long after I got there I was asked to stand in for the official track photographer that couldn’t make it. So I was torn between camera and car… oh what a dilemma.

Anyways, the results are more “lifestyle” shots rather than the usual “just another car zooming past” stuff.
