L.E.W. Meeting @ Silverstone 24/08

[lotusespritworld]

More new for the Silverstone meeting on 24th August 2003. Spoken to John Hazzard, who will be racing his Esprit V8 in the Roadsports Race. The event is being held over the weekend, but John is only racing on Sunday. It's a 750 Motor Club organised event, with races including Stock-Hatch racing (VTS, GTI's etc). A John Cooper Challenge (mini's I'm guessing). A Formula V race and a Formula 4 race. John's Road Sport Race will be towards the end of the day and he will be competing against Morgan's, Elise's, Porsche 911's, Renault Spiders and Ginetta's to name a few.

Tickets for the day will be around £10 each, but if you register an interest in coming, John may (MAY) be able to get some free tickets. Email me before Monday 18th if you want the chance of some free tickets.

Lotus Esprit World will be there with it's SE and hopefully Philip Copperwheat will have his Sport 350 there, with it's Mike Haines Racing Brake Conversion. So let's make this a Esprit Summer Meet and get plenty of Esprit's to Silverstone to support John's first outing in his Esprit V8 Racer (with G50 gearbox). No excuses, bring the family if you can't escape!

Silverstone is in Northampton and can be reached via J15 of the M1 and I believe it's on the A5 near Towcester. It's the venue for the British Grand Prix, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Hoping for a good turnout!

20 Esprits made a great day out as Silverstone. Especially all coming into Silverstone in convoy. BRILLIANT. John Hazzard's V8 Racer (running 450bhp) had an eventful day! Report on LEW in the next few days.

Thanks to everyone who turned up. Look forward to the next LEW event.

Hi there! Can anyone tell Me is John Hazzard's V8 a standard chipped up road V8 or is it an ex racer.
If its a road car what other mods have been made to allow all this extra power or are there any sensibly priced performance upgrades out there that don't envolve cutting the car about. Many Thanks!

John's car is i believe built up from scratch, rather than being a converted road car.
