Well, there’s no doubting it is certainly winter! And that’s from someone freshly back from the Old Dart, so it really can’t be good.
However, it gives plenty of time to spend in the garage, or reading this new edition of Chunky’s, courtesy of a combined effort by Seth and Tom – thank you both!
Stephen is looking to sell either of his two Elans in order to make room for a newly acquired Europa.

Club Lotus Australia is hosting Round 4 of the 2024 CSCA Supersprint Championship on August 24, and we’d love for you to be a part of the event. Further details and entry will be available soon!
Lock the date in your diary and make an effort to get to Sydney Motorsport Park to support your club and enjoy some fantastic grass roots supersprinting on the Gardner (GP) circuit.
Entries will open soon for existing Championship competitors, but that should not deter you if you are considering driving your Lotus on the track for the first time, everyone is welcome to compete.
This is a safe & controlled environment whereby you are sprinting against the clock, not other competitors. We welcome volunteers and support crew as well to come and get involved.
Further details of the event and entry instructions will be posted soon, stay tuned for more information and entry links in the coming weeks.
We look forward to seeing you trackside for a great day of racing!
Hello from the delights of summer in the UK (in Flanders and Swan’s song, Farmers fear unkindly May, frost by night and hail by day.)
While it appears to have been a rather sudden introduction to winter in Australia, the planning for events ahead continues unabated. Most significant from a pre-planning perspective is the next biennial celebrations, which are slated for 7-10 March next year, based around “border country” between Victoria and NSW. Full details are still being ironed out, but accomodation is likely to be centred in Albury. So put it in the calendar now!
