Elan 50år jubileumsrace Silverstone

[RHK Forum Admin]

As you may be aware there is a proposal that a race should be run sometime in
2012 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lotus Elan . A proposal has been
made that this may be possible at the Silverstone Classic event to be held on
20th – 22nd July 2012 . The grid is able to take up to 58 cars for 26R + GTS 26R
replicas and also HSCC Roadsports cars &70's Roadsports . The event would
consist of practice on the Friday with a 20 minute race on Saturday and 20
minute race on Sunday .

Assuming we can get 40 Elans to the meeting the cost of both races would be
in the region of £740 + VAT entrant .

Could any who are interested in taking part please contact Dave Hughes at
hughesdave3@googlemail.com or send fax to Tony Thompson Racing and we
can forward to Dave . The organisers would like to know how many cars might
be available as soon as possible

- det har jeg redan gjort......   Er det noen Elanen fra Svea som kunne tenke seg å bli med   Det må da stå 8-10 race-Elaner pakket bort i garasjer i Sverige... Hvor er alle sammen ??

Dag-Henning, klart man vill vara med men det finns ju vissa "hinder". Sveaelanerna är just nu garagerade (3 är till salu) men förhoppningsvis blir det sommar och race för de flesta i år också.

- ja det forstår man Per ! Det var så mange fine Elaner i Sverige i mange år, men så ble det så altfor tyst.......   Loppet på Silverstone er forøvrig kansellert, - Elan-heatet  -,  men det kommer sikkert nye muligheter senere.... Jeg har også lagt ut min bil for salg, men ingen har vist interesse.....    -  kanskje vi får kjøre litt til..??

Dear Elan Driver,

The CSCC is very pleased to to announce that Clive Chapman has kindly offered to provide 'The Colin Chapman Trophy' for the winner of the  'FIA' class and that Club Lotus will provide 'The Ron Hickman' Trophy for the winner of the 'Classic' class in the 'Elan 50' race at the Lotus festival. These prestigious Trophies are one-off cups for the winners to keep.

We are honoured to be supported by Clive Chapman from Classic Team Lotus with his generous offer to commemorate the anniversary of the Elan, the car that was so important to the Lotus marque's survival. We are also indebted to Club Lotus for their generosity and help in publicising the event.

For those competitors from the continent especially, we would point out that the timing of the race has been set so that you have ample time to travel over on the Saturday with qualifying not until 17.10 in the evening. The race itself is timed to start at 1pm on the Sunday giving you plenty of time to catch your ferry back on the Sunday afternoon after the race.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Kind regards

Hugo Holder
