As most of you will have read Gavan Kershaw will be giving some hot laps in a 220S during the evening. Obviously with Gavan also showing his Top Gear DVD later in the evening and racing at the weekend his time is going to be limited.

Lipscomb Lotus have decided to offer 4 lucky winners the chance to pax with Gavan arround Brands for a couple of laps on Monday evening. As time is short please email the answer to the question below with your Name, Address & Phone Number to lotus@lipscomb.co.uk by 11.30am on Friday 23/6 and they will draw all those with correct answers out of the hat at the show room at 12.00 on Friday - the 4 winners will receive an email/call on Friday afternoon to let them know what time to arrive at Brands. (note. you must be 17 or over to take part and judges decission is final)

In case you're wondering, after a sleepless night thanks to some scrote across the road from me, I'm exhausted and quite frankly crapping it.

I can't believe this, I turned up at 5.00pm and parked next to ONE Elise, looked at the Lipscombe tent and only saw the salesmen so I thought it had been rained off so I went home to watch the most boring game of football ever. Absolutely gutted...
