Getting back in the saddle - where to look?

[Trikster]

After a few years away from the tracks Mrs Trikster & I are looking to start going again. Having sold our previous track cars to fund house build we’ve just purchased an S2 Elise to have some fun with (and some yoga classes to help us get in and out #gettingold)

Looks like track days have got a lot more popular so we re struggling to find days etc that we can fit around our other commitments this year (we ll book early for next) but just wondering what resources folks are using to find events - track or airfield days as we get used to the car, UK only and probably no further north than Bedford (which we know counts out a lot of good circuits but will go further in 2027)

You have a Lotus. ……. try Lotus-on-Track.

Castle Combe and Brands Hatch are probably south enough for you?

Motorsport Events do some good events at circuits in the South - Abingdon & Keevil airfields, Castle Combe and Thruxton. I haven't been to one of their days in a while but the driving standards are always good and you get a good bunch of cars attending.

Msv, filter for bedford. Or javelin, filter for bedford and brands hatch, and anything else you deem reachable.

But best trackdays for a lotus is likely lotus on track.

Also use these dudes. They cover most of the TDOs apart from the smaller bespoke operators or specialist events. Should give you an idea of what’s going down this year, although the full track day calendar for 2027 isn’t out until late this year/early next year.
