Our annual visit to a circuit that needs no words. Over 2.5 miles of undulating track with a variety of challenging corners and wide run offs. Using the main arena for arguably the World’s greatest race the Le Mans 24hr and it’s modern facilities.
Important: This day is being run in Open Pit Lane format. This means cars must weigh between 800kg & 1800kg.
To be clear all Exige, Evora, Toyota Engine Elise, VX220/Speedsters and most other non Lotus types of cars that we accept such as Porsche will be ok. However, as things stand we cannot accept Caterhams or Elise S1.
In short your vehicle registration document should state >800kgs and <1800kgs.
If you are unsure if your car is permitted or you have a different type of car to those that we would normally accept such as a BMW and would like to be considered please email Paul.
During lunch we’ll put all the cars on the legendary grid and then do a slow – photo lap with everyone who wants.

General circuit information: HERE
Noise limit: 100db drive by
Static test – A noise meter is placed at a 45 degree angle to the exhaust outlet and 50cm away. The car is then held at 3/4 of its maximum rev limit and the highest reading recorded is the cars recorded noise output for the day. A static limit of 105db is very high and very few cars have an issue with this. At 98db cars with a cat, std factory manifolds and exhausts will generally be ok. Anyone with a very loud exhaust/manifold should be careful.
Drive by – This test is recorded at track side as the car is moving at track speed. Depending on the circuit the reading will be taken between right next to the track and up to 20 meters away. Cars with forced induction tend to have more issues with drive by, even though they tend to pass static tests as the s/c or turbo’s only kick in when run at speed. There are many things that affect drive by readings from wind direction, air temperature, how low the cloud cover is or even what line you are driving.
