    Urgent Request – Volunteers needed to help the running of our 60th Anniversary celebrations!
    The success of an event like this inevitably depends on a significant number of volunteers. Whilst we have been encouraging local area groups to sign up for different activities over the weekend, we also welcome help from any members who will be present. Main support needed includes marshalling the driving events and helping with registration and parking. It needn’t be onerous – we are looking to book volunteers from just 2hr slots over the weekend – it’s also a great way to meet other members and generally great fun!
    If you are able to help out, please email 60th@lotus7.club

    Settled into the reassuringly-tight confines of the seat, hands loosely placed upon the small steering wheel, gazing down the louvered bonnet. Surely, there can’t be many Seven owners who at this point, haven’t wondered what it would be like to drive to the start line, and compete in a motorsport event of some kind.
    Ladies and gentlemen, wonder no more. Introduction to Sprinting 2017 will allow you to experience the anticipation, excitement and thrills of competing in a sprint or hill climb event, driving your own car and riding with experienced sprinters.Taking place at Curborough in Staffordshire, the spiritual home of the club’s Speed Championship, we aim to tempt you to join in and explore the ultimate capability of yourself and your car. You will learn the techniques for safe competitive driving, and try them out on track, as well as finding out about the simple preparation and equipment required.
    Taking place at Curborough in Staffordshire, the spiritual home of the club’s Speed Championship, we aim to tempt you to join in and explore the ultimate capability of yourself and your car. You will learn the techniques for safe competitive driving, and try them out on track, as well as finding out about the simple preparation and equipment required.

    This event usually takes place every two years, in March; the earlier date has been chosen to give more time to budget and plan to compete in 2018. 
    To provide maximum track time, numbers will be limited, so to secure your place, book now.
    Entry fee is £59 which includes food. Bookings can be made online here.
    Safety requirements are the same as for club track days - Your car will need to have a an FIA or track day roll bar and you will need a helmet.
