Any PH'ers planning to attend EVO Magazine's track evenings this year? I've booked their Bedford Autodrome dates on Friday 7 July and Friday 1 September. I had planned to take my new Lotus 3-Eleven but the noise limit at Bedford looks pretty strict (101db) so I'm not going to risk it. I'll just have to bring something a bit quieter.

Yep will be there on 7th with a few friends. Mixture of Loti and Porsche. Come and say hi. Any pics of the 3-eleven? Was at Hethel on Monday for the factory tour, spotted a trio on the production line. Looked mega!
Excellent, I'll definitely come over and say hello at Bedford on 7th July. I'll be in a dark blue McLaren 12C.

My Lotus 3-Eleven should be ready for collection on 31st March. Here are a few pics of it in build at Hethel:

Do you know how much noise the 311 will make? Has Lotus given a value?
Lotus Bell & Colvill in Surrey (my local dealership) have suggested to stick to track days with a 105db limit and above.

Great see you there we'll be heading up in convoy from Herts with a yellow Lotus Exige, yellow 991, bright green Caterham and an orange Evora. You definitely won't miss us!
Excellent. That's a vivid convoy indeed biggrin

New pic of my 3-Eleven, which has just arrived at Lotus Bell & Colvill in Surrey. The car will be ready for collection next Friday.

I can't bring the Lotus 3-Eleven to the EVO Magazine track days at Bedford, regrettably, because of noise limits (it needs 105db or over). l'll therefore be taking the 12C instead, which should prove quick enough. Question is: will it be as fun..?

Loving the Mustang.

I've finally got the 12C back from McLaren Ascot after it blew a coolant hose at the Nurburgring back in April. Let's hope for a better outing at Bedford on 7 July...

Hope everyone had fun at the last Rockingham event, even if it was wet?

I'm going to try and bring the Lotus 3-Eleven to the September Bedford event. Hopefully noise won't be a big issue... 😬

So who else is going along to the Bedford event tomorrow? Look forward to seeing the 3-11 if you bring it along!
I will be there tomorrow in my 3-11, if it isn't due to rain?

A few nice shots of the Lotus 3-Eleven. I was limited to 5,000rpm (due to noise limits) and the car was sliding more than expected but what a blast!
