Round two of the 2021 CSCA series, held on Sunday the 18th of April, saw us once again make the road trip south out of Sydney, stopping a little short of our usual destination in Goulburn for our second visit to the Pheasant Wood Circuit in Marulan. This round of the series was very kindly hosted by the MG Car Club Sydney.

With thanks to Richard Wodhams
The 2020 CSCA Drivers’ Championship was won by Richard Wodhams, who piloted his 2006 Lotus Elise to victory in a season that was very nearly sent careening off into the kitty litter by world events, but was brought back on track by good fortune, determined organisers and committed competitors. We caught up with Richard to learn a little of his story and how he made the most of a tumultuous year.

Club Lotus Australia had the honour of hosting round one of the 2021 CSCA series at Wakefield Park on Sunday the 28th of March, 2021. After 2020 threw us into a spin and comprehensively curtailed our CSCA series from seven to only four rounds in 2020, we were thrilled to reset and kick off a fresh season of motorsport.
