quantum2000 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Unfortunately its true. I was at Hethel last week. Rach got to drive a 410 Sport on track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinchild Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't understand it. Apparently it makes a profit, although it did make me wonder how as there was only 4 of us there when I went a few weeks ago, looks like I will not be doing the level 3 then. I have a feeling it may start up again though. there seems to be very few places in this country where you can get that type of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoss Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It may be related to the problems with Proton which is the owner of Lotus. Proton has problems and DRB-Hicom has put it up for sale so it may be a case of paring things back to aid the sale. I last went to the academy a couple of years ago and there were only 9 of us when it should have been more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryno Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I understand it is not quite as doom and gloom as people report, LDA are not operating at Hethel anymore but LDA is not gone forever and the Motorsport guys have been merged into the main business rather than being a separate division. Sadly for me they don't do servicing at the factory anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
