On a weekend packed with treats for enthusiasts of the Lotus marque, both the Elise Trophy and Lotus Cup Europe provided much of the entertainment for the huge crowd.

Marcus Jewell and James Knight fought hard with the former reprising his Silverstone form in race one and coming off second best next time round. Had it not been for Michael Edwards’ early break from the pack as they fought through the reverse grid, they may have challenged his lead. Both races were fiercely contested by the capacity field.

Amongst the multi-class Lotus Cup Europe races, 2-Eleven drivers Gavin Kirby and Jon Walker took a win apiece, the latter having an easier run after Kirby was sent to the back of the grid in race two for a technical infringement. With Mark Gooday showing great form and Christophe Lisandre beating Scott Cruickshank to the final podium place of the weekend, John Rasse defeated his brother Gregory in the Exige class and Pat McBennett claimed a brace of Production class victories.
