GT Auto Garage Lotus Track Day

Alex, an avid supporter of Lotus and motorsport in general, put on a Queensland Raceway track day at the end of March where about 30 cars attended including 11 or more Lotus. These track days are an open pitlane format for friends where we can just enjoy a bit of casual track time and let the cars go wild in the environment they deserve.

It was also a nice and unexpected surprise to have a visit from the guys at Motorline Brisbane who arrived with Lee Knappett, who you all know as the Director of Simply Sports Cars and CEO of Lotus Cars Australia, the man who brought most of our amazing Lotus cars to Australia.

It was great to catch up with Lee who made his way around the pits jumping in and helping out with any track day challenges that arose. Lee has such an in-depth knowledge of racing and it’s always nice to have a chat and pick his brains about all things Lotus.
