Live The Lotus Life

Live the Lotus Life

To celebrate its 60th Birthday Lotus is holding an open event at its Hethel Headquarters in Norfolk on

Sunday 14th September and will announce the lucky winner of the 'Live the Lotus Life' competition, the

prize being a fully insured Lotus Elise for 6 whole months!

For its diamond anniversary Lotus has organised an assortment of activities designed to entertain the

whole family; a fun fair, farmers market, auction and RAF displays are all confirmed as well as access to

Lotus' world-class manufacturing and engineering facilities. Visitors will also be privy to a specially

commissioned exhibition that charts the development of Lotus' brand new car, which is still only known

by its codename 'Project Eagle'. Advanced tickets are available online through the dedicated website

www.lotus60thanniversary.com and those who book early can buy laps of the famous Hethel test track

as a passenger in an iconic Lotus Elise.

The pinnacle of the day will be the 'Live the Lotus Life' competition finale. Lotus is giving away a fully

insured Elise for 6 months to commemorate this special anniversary through an online competition

hosted by Radio Broadland.

"Our cars are for people of character who know who they are and love to have fun." commented Mike

Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus Plc. "The adrenaline fuelled experience of driving a Lotus is legend

and we want to give someone the chance to enjoy this exhilarating experience."

For a chance to win you can enter online at www.radiobroadland.co.uk and entrants who correctly

answer the qualifying question will go through to a second round. 60 finalists will be drawn and each

will be awarded a key. Each finalist will be invited to try their key at the Lotus Open Day on 14th

September, only one key opens the prize Elise though and the lucky key holder will win the car and

have the chance to experience the prestige that driving a Lotus brings, for 6 whole months.

Radio Broadland is providing a cash prize of £1000 for the lucky winner. "We hope that the competition

winner will whisk their significant other away in the Lotus for a lavish weekend; dine at fine restaurants

and take in some retail therapy and generally live like the rich and famous!" Remarked Steve Martin,

Programme Controller for Radio Broadland.

Enter on line now and Live the Lotus Life for 6 months!

  • Elise S3 Brakes

    The brakes on my Elise 240 FE never felt brilliant but at 2.5 years old in the cold and wet did nothing when pressed, a few pumps later and some braking happened. I took it in and the pads (oem from new) were glazed. I replaced them with Pagid RS42 and updated fluid. Difference was night and day.  Now, a year and maybe 3500 miles on and the pedal feel is a little wooden again (like can brake light or hard but nothing in between) and they are squealing really bad at town driving  speeds and lig

    Tyre comparison - short note on v105 vs ad08rs

    Elise S2 k series with standard geometry so set up to understeer gently. Which is exactly what I've been getting on runs out. Car is on the recommended yoko v105 tyres. There a two types the ones to get have a slightly stiffer sidewall and are recommended for mercs iirc. V105 is in my experience a very competent road tyre for all seasons and daily driving. Definitely recommended. V105 thoughts coming off a no longer available very old and hard and narrower front tyre.  As normal T

    Jim Clark 60th anniversary celebration of his F1 championship, Indi 500 win & Tasman series championship

    I love the Lotus in the Peak event and it's great to see all the positive posts and pictures of this year's event.  I wasn't there this time because I'd decided to attend the Jim Clark 60th anniversary celebration of his F1 championship, Indi 500 win & Tasman series championship.  This was organised by the Jim Clark Trust and took place at Duns Castle very close to his Scottish home.  It ran on both Saturday and Sunday, so we (six of us) had decided to travel up to Scotland on Friday, have t
