SELOC’s 2004 charity event will be national, with a strong contingent from Europe expected. The event starts with multiple car runs, open to all SELOC cars, along designated routes, organised under the MSA banner, starting from 5 geographic locations in the UK:

All runs converge on Bruntingthorpe, www.bruntingthorpe.com , in the Midlands, the finish venue, where a range of events and activities will be available for members to enjoy once they have finished the runs. Bruntingthorpe have made available their superb facilities for SELOC’s Charity Event, the venue offering good access from major roads. We want a minimum of 500+ SELOC member cars to participate on the runs alone.
Therefore to encourage maximum participation on the runs SELOC have applied to the Guinness World Records to register the largest ever gathering of Lotus models. As a record has not been set before, this event will set the benchmark!
An additional 60 SELOC member cars will be using the main circuit at Bruntingthorpe for a track day, one of numerous events, as listed below, taking place on the day at Bruntingthorpe to encourage run participation.
