Well all, it's been a while since I last graced these pages but as some of you know I retired from racing summer of 2018. I decided in January to take a medical and applied for a licence again, which I have now. Elise Trophy is being resurrected in the UK by MSV and I have signed up. So, all you would be racers can come and join us at Donington April 7th. I know, I know.... it clashes with the AGM but not all of you come to AGM's and those that do/must can mosey on afterwards and still catch the last ET race which starts at 16.00 hrs on the Sunday remember. I am looking forward to it again and to show all you dis-believers how a little ole Lotus can handle on a track. Awesome!!! See you there Chris Mayhew 07930 134029

I have found out why we were bumped. The soapbox racing which was scheduled for last Sunday was moved to next Sunday because of the gales. We have decided to go ahead but park in a public car park. See you all at Hethel Chris If you are still coming just call me on 07930 134029

Sorry Guys, just heard back from the council that an event scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled due to the weather and re-scheduled for next Sunday the 30th. So our run has been cancelled. Due to the time of year we are running out of weekends. Watch this space Chris Mayhew

Well finally, just awaiting final confirmation from the council, but I don't expect any problems. So, we have settled on Sunday 30th September. Because so many of you are up in Norfolk anyway for the 70th celebrations at Hethel we will hold it the following day. Please book a room either in Norwich (1.5 hrs drive) or nearer Hunstanton (many B&B's plus hotels) otherwise you will have to make your own way to Hunstanton as I am staying up nearby. I suggest on Sunday morning to assemble at 10.00 hrs at Lidl on the Lynn Road at Heacham A149 near the lavender farm this is about 15 minutes drive form the Green where we have special parking Any problems call me 07930 134029 or christophermayhew@btinternet.com Chris

Jim Clark was arguably the greatest F1 driver of his era and the best Lotus F1 driver except for maybe Senna. Where was Clark killed? Hockenheim and when was he killed, April 1968. I have counted on my fingers (I have many) and make next year the 50th anniversary. Hockenheim historic racing event has been held for many years largely due to the high esteem Clark was regarded around the world. Next year's historic will be very special being the 50th and we can expect many hundred's of Loti and thousands of fans. You could be one, very simply! www.hockenheim-historic.de has all the information including entry tickets (45 euro for a weekend pass) and nearby hotels. May I suggest if you are tempted book soon as there is likely to be great demand. As an aside, I will be racing at the event, so I will be there racing in Lotus Cup Europe. If you need any more info please feel free to contact me and I will try and help. When there, if you have problems get in touch and look out for me in the Cup Europe paddock. In fact all the paddock's are open to the Lotus public for touchy feely I will be at the Classic Car show at the NEC Friday and Saturday and also the LDC Christmas party if you want a chat.

I have a spare Silverstone ticket for Friday and Sunday any offers Chris Mayhew 07930134029

I went to his funeral yesterday, there were 2 Exiges, 1 911 and a Fiat 458( big red loud one). No friends of Jesus in a chartruse microbus but we did crash the gate doing 98.....let those truckers roll 10-4. If you don't know what I'm talking about ask your dad about the film/song Please see service files attached Chris John Drake p1.pdf John Drake p2.pdf

I am going to his funeral in a Lotus with LDC regalia. He wants a "Bright" one.
