National Club Event: Performance Driver Education Program
Date: May 5, 2018
Location: Lime Rock Park, Connecticut
Description: Lotus, Ltd. is excited to have you join us on May 5, 2018 at Lime Rock Park in Northwest Connecticut for a new type of event in our Performance Driver Education program. We’re presenting a car control clinic on the two 1/3-mile “autocross” tracks located on Lime Rock Park’s infield parking area. This low-speed, safe event is intended to allow you to explore dynamic changes in your vehicle’s handling that you really don’t want to feel on the street. However, if you do, you’ll be glad you attended this event! In other words, these courses are designed to upset your car by promoting understeer and oversteer. Besides all that, it’s just a blast to toss your car around while improving your driving skills!
This is an informal driving event, you can drive whatever type of vehicle you like (preferably a Lotus), helmets are suggested but not required, however, you should wear appropriate closed toed, rubber soled shoes. If you feel like taking a break during the event and watching the members of the Lime Rock Drivers Club lap the main track, go right ahead and come back in line whenever you feel ready. Lime Rock Park is a park, so there are no grandstands. Bring your family, some chairs and a picnic and enjoy the day! The paddock concession stand will also be open for purchase of meals and snacks.

National Club Event: Performance Driver Education Program
Date: June 20, 2018
Location: Watkins Glen, New York
Description: What better way to explore the handling of your Lotus but on one of North America's premier road courses.The intent of the Lotus, Ltd./MBCA's Driver Education program is to teach you the skills to handle your car better. Besides having plain old fun with your car, the techniques you'll learn will make you a safer, more aware driver on the street! Afraid to take your car on the race track because it might get damaged? That's understandable, it can happen. However, it can also happen on the street. The race track is a controlled environment in which you have far more freedom to make a "mistake" than on the street. (But if you really want your car protected, read about optional track insurance coverage below) If you are a novice driver, during our High Performance Driver Education Day, you will have a seasoned instructor with you at all times to guide and teach you at a pace with which you are comfortable. There is no pressure and no trophies at a Driver Education day. It's all about safety, fun, and car control! Yes, in that order.
