Hockenheim Historic - Jim Clark Revival A Must For Lotus Fans

This year’s Bosch Hockenheim Historic - Jim Clark Revival meeting will be a treat for Lotus fans and owners

 

This year’s Bosch Hockenheim Historic - Jim Clark Revival meeting will be a treat for Lotus fans and owners, with a variety of activities including a special tribute to Team Lotus’s double World Champion, 50 years on from his most successful season in motorsport.

Jim Clark dominated the 1965 Formula One season, claiming six Grands Prix on his way to the title, including a run of five consecutive victories. He also conquered America, winning the Indianapolis 500 with Team Lotus. This stunning achievement will be marked at the Hockenheim event with a display of his cars, including his Dutch GP-winning Lotus 33, his Lotus 35 Formula 2 car, and the ‘Jim Clark’ Lotus 29 IndyGoKart from 1964, manufactured to commemorate Ford’s entry into the Indy 500 in 1963. There will also be a display of pictures, models and other exhibits celebrating the legendary driver.

The event also features the opening round of Lotus Cup Europe, the only race series for modern-day machinery on the event’s schedule. Over 40 cars have been entered, headed by reigning champion Jeremy Lourenco, who has graduated to the V6 Cup class with team mate Xavier Georges in a pair of Exiges. They will be fighting for overall victories with favourites Jon Walker, and Nikolaj Ipsen, plus the Evoras of Gregory Rasse and the returning Steve Williams.

 

Championship runner-up Andrew Wright has moved up to the 2-Eleven class from Production, where he’ll be battling Jean-Baptiste Loup and Christophe Lisandre, and Mark Gooday will be making his return to Lotus racing.

An expanded Open class includes the four-cylinder Exiges and is expected to feature David Harvey and Nicolas Ferrer, plus the Lotus Cup Eastern Europe visitors Benedek Major and Tamas Vizin. Meanwhile a close Production fight should include Markus Nikowitsch, John Rasse and James Knight.

Lotus enthusiasts can join in the event with a variety of activities including a special Lotus parade on the Grand Prix circuit. There will also be awards for the oldest, most extraordinary, best-looking original and restored Lotus cars, plus a special prize for the driver who has travelled the furthest in their Lotus.

There will also be a Lotus photo competition open to all where twelve Lotus model series will be photographed and the winners will receive a free calendar.

  • Servicing.....self or garage? Which are you?

    So, I did a Forum 'service' and 'servicing' search, but couldn't find much about the topic specifically. So thought Id kick one off instead. Servicing. Self or Garage? Lotus are renowned for the servicing required. Lots of specialists out there, and it does come at a premium. But... Changing things like oil, filters, brake/clutch fluids etc, are pretty much the same on a Lotus as on most other combustion engines. The Lotus Service Guides have the full list of things to cover too,

    S1 Type 49 Elise Refresh

    And so the winter refresh of my S1 Elise started today. Hoping to take front clam of tomorrow. However of the 4 lower bolts that hold the lower rear to the chassis, 2 are spinning and 2 won't budge despite copious amounts of penetrative oil over the last few months. The Eagle eyed will spot my Dremel tool which I'm not looking forward to using to remove 4 bolt heads that have limited access. Currently on my list are replacing the driving lights brackets, shot blast and paint the tow post, n

    S2 driver side indicator fail

    Hello all, just out curiosity has anybody else experienced either one of there front side indicators taking flight mid drive ? I was driving back from Whitchurch yesterday and mine decided to do exactly that.  haven’t hit any pot holes, nor had I previously loosened it off around the seals etc…. Just very bizarre as I’ve never had a car like this where bits and pieces just fly off lol.  also when getting a replacement as I have now ordered are there any ‘upgrades’ you can do to prevent this

    Handbrake covers....whats yours look like?

    Ok, so my 2006 S2 has no handbrake cover. Looks like that's how most come out of the factory. Gear shift has the standard perforated leather. Im looking at the option of getting a HB cover, preferably to match the gear leaver cover, looking to keep it as OEM as possible.  What have other owners done with their handbrakes? Aftermarket to match? Or a set to swap out for a new look? Nearly all I have seen go over the top and outside. Any neat ones that tuck inside the HB slot? Show u
