The Goodwood Festival of Speed kicked off today and Lotus has a major presence at the world's biggest car culture event, set in the immaculate grounds of Goodwood House.
Blasting up Goodwood's historic hill climb throughout the weekend are a heady mix of Lotus road and track cars, both old and new. Vitaly and Bruno will wow the crowds in their black and gold Lotus Renault GP cars, while 1992 world champion and Lotus ambassador Nigel Mansell drives his 1983 Type 94T, and Martin Donnelly is reunited with his 1990 Type 102 – the car that nearly ended his career.
The hill climb will also see the latest Evora S, its sibling, the Evora GT4 race car, and the F1-inspired T125, which has been developed by our works drivers and grand prix legend Jean Alesi to give customers the full F1 experience.
Classic Team Lotus have prepared a selection of priceless machines for the event, including Graham Hill's Monaco '68 winning Type 49 and the 1963 Type 25 that took Jim Clark to seven grands prix victories.
In pride of place on the Group Lotus stand, Ayrton Senna's JPS-liveried Type 97T is a must-see for every fan of the Brazilian icon. Chassis no.2 was a special car for Ayrton, because it was in this very machine that he took his first grand prix win – and, in his own opinion, his best.
Up on stage, there will be an open mic session each day at 10.30am and 2pm, MC'd by BBC Radio Five Live F1 commentator David Croft. Saturday and Sunday sees Vitaly joined by Bruno and Nigel Mansell. Each afternoon, Clive Chapman will join the panel, and on Sunday KV Racing Technology-Lotus driver EJ Viso will be there to talk IndyCar racing.
Group Lotus has a pavilion at Goodwood this year just next to Lotus Renault GP. The weekend is the perfect taster of the best in motor racing prior to the British Grand Prix.
