The Lotus on Track Racing Drivers’ Club enters its busiest week ever, starting with an appearance supporting the DTM at Brands Hatch this weekend.  The Elise Trophy appeared on this series' support bill back in its inaugural season in 2007 when a full grid was arranged at very short notice and was remembered for a spectacular startline incident involving Steve Williams, who will hope to add to his dominant victories at the recent WTCC-supporting races on the GP loop.

With the first race starting after the DTM cars of David Coulthard, Ralf Schumacher, Paul Di Resta, Garry Paffet and championship leader Bruno Spengler have barely had time to cool down, it promises to be a great show for the crowd, who’ll get a second opportunity to see the cars later in the day.

Just a few days later, many of the drivers will head to the spectacular Oulton Park circuit in Cheshire, whilst several others will travel to Belgium to join their European counterparts in the Lotus Cup Europe at Zolder, to support another major championship.  This time it is the FIA European Truck Grand Prix and expect a full grid of 2-Elevens, Exiges and Elises spread amongst the classes.

Both series’ will meet up a few miles east a fortnight later at the majestic Spa-Francorchamps track, but by then we hope that all of the drivers and organisers will have enjoyed a well-earned rest!
