[hollypop]

If anyone is interested in attending a Lola factory open day on 15th August I suggest you go here..

www.nationalmotorsportweek.co.uk then NEWS

As there are limited spaces there is a question to answer. However I'm sure if you are a winner you will have a great day out!

Please keep an eye out on the National Motorsport Week website for more news and events during the week 11th - 19th August.

Thanks Ted for letting me post this

Thanks for the heads-up. I have been a huge Lola fan for a long time and would love the chance to see their cars close up. The question is a bit too easy though. O

I entered a few minutes ago and have already been told I have won so I think your chances are quite good

Hi

I am not sure how I am going to get there, does anybody know if there is a train station as I am coming up from Swindon, Wiltshire. But i am 16 so I dont drive so it will have to be trains and maybe a walk.

James there is a train station in Huntingdon (runs from London Kings cross) and the Lola factory is not "too" far away. and its on an industrial estate so I am pretty sure that you would be ok with train and bus (oh and maybe a little walk!)

[Regional]

It's about a 15 minute walk from the train station.
Walk around the ring road and take a left at the junction opposite the Territorial pub, walk 400 yards to traffic lights before railway bridge and turn right onto St Peters road and Lola is about 500 meters up the road on the right just after Kwikfit.
