Take your Seven and join the UK’s biggest single model car club trip to Le Mans, with the Lotus Seven Club.
Exclusively for Caterham and Lotus Seven enthusiasts alike, the Lotus Seven Club have run this major event to Le Mans for the last 9 years, continually improving the content and facilities of what is likely the best touring holiday you will ever take in your Seven.
Leaving Newhaven on a specially chartered Super Sea Cat with 100 other Sevens on board you will stay overnight in hotel accommodation near Dieppe before driving in the biggest convoy of Sevens down to the famous 24Hrs circuit. Smooth tarmac and great twisty roads enable you to experience a level of driving enjoyment you are unlikely to achieve in the UK.
The trip includes Full Race Tickets, inc. Grandstand Seat, and giving access to Pits and a camping permit for the Bleu Campsite where as well as all the usual spectator attractions associated with the worlds most famous motor race, the Lotus Seven Club Le Mans Trip prides itself in raising the concept of camping at Le Mans to new levels. Facilities include kitchen and covered dining area, private showers, a huge marquee, easily capable of holding the whole group, equipped with a Dolby Digital Theatre and huge projected TV screen, allowing the race to be followed through the night, plus the numerous better halves who come on the trip the chance to keep up to date with the UK soaps! In addition we pride ourselves on taking our own fully heated swimming pool, large enough for as many as 25 people!
Friday morning sees access to the pits and a chance to get close to both the cars and the drivers. whilst daytime Friday sees the chance to hit the open roads which form part of the circuit, and the chance to imagine what it must have been like a few years ago as a driver with the opportunity to take a moments relaxation whilst reeling in the Mulsanne Straight at 230mph!
Friday night sees the marquee become a rock club for the night and the excellent Tar Babies will entertain you with some of the best rock music into the small hours.
Over the weekend watch the race from the advantage of your grandstand seat or use your circuit ticket to gain free access to other spectator points around the tracks 8 mile lap. Whatever, the Le Mans Trip is the chance to watch some great motor racing and spend your quality time in the company of fellow Seveners exchanging stories of those great driving experiences. Alternatively you may wish to spend the entire weekend in the Champagne tent and forget the race! The choice is yours....
Sunday night sees more entertainment on the campsite and the chance to relax before getting up Monday morning, packing up and getting back on the road for another cross country blast back up to one of Normandy’s picturesque coastal fishing villages before heading for the hotel and catching the ferry back to Newhaven on Tuesday morning.
The trip is open to drivers of Caterham and Lotus Seven cars only, and all profits from the trip are donated to the
Club's nominated charity, the Leukaemia Research Fund. Over 11 years the Lotus Seven Club has raised in excess of £140,000 for this charity, the Le Mans Trip contributing nearly £15,000 over the 9 years it has been running.
The Lotus Seven Club looks forward to seeing you on this years trip. Book quickly as the 2003 trip is nearly full up!
