Hi All,

 

Who can I pass someones contact details onto for a possible upcoming events? Is there an admin or someone who pulls together events? (Newbie question - haven't got a scoobie!)

 

I've spoken to 'Magnitude Events Lts' (check them out on facebook / twitter etc) after taking part in a track day they ran at the Lotus factory test track a few weeks back and they're looking for more owners clubs to join next time out - last time there was members of the Lotus owners club, TVR and MX-5's.

 

They run track sessions at the Lotus facility up here in Norfolk, and other tracks I believe. 

 

If someone could let me know who i'd have to pass these details onto then hopefully we could get something organised! 

 

Failing that I could be in contact and try and sort something... But i'm about as much use as a chocolate tea pot when it comes to organizing events. 'cant organize p*ss up in a brewery' comes to mind, which is ironic for someone who's parents own a pub.

 

Cheers,

 

Dan

No, the full track is quite technical and really puts the car and driver through their paces. As you'd expect really. I enjoyed it. Gives you an opportunity to get the suspension nicely balanced if it's not already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi,

 

You could drop an email to 

 

simon@lotus-hub.com 
Simon Orrell - Relationship Manager
 
Who might be able to advise the options or point you the right direction.
 
I have been speaking with Simon after the purchase of my v6.
 
Good luck

The guy has mentioned there's an event in October that we'd be able to get space on - if we got numbers to him reasonably quickly.

 

If someone wanted to talk to Alex (MD at Magnitude Events) regarding organising something for 2017 - or even the event in October. Drop him an email.

 

info@magnitude-events.co.uk

 

Say Dan (me) has passed on is info.

 

Cheers.
