Post by: John S on June 30, 2010, 04:42:46 PM

Seems like this might make for a good day out for us F1 nuts.

from Autosport.com, Today

Lotus has opened the doors of its headquarters to allow Formula 1 fans to look behind the scenes of a team's factory.

The team's base, in Hingham, Norfolk, has begun running 90-minute tours of the facility, which include the design office, composite and machine shops, race bays and race team workshops. Guests will also be able to meet the team and see this season's Lotus T127 up close.

Tours cost £80 per person (£40 for under 17s and free for under 12s) and are availabe on limited dates to ensure the team and cars are on site. for more info go to :-

You'll just have to tell us all about it in a blog then Wizzo.  :D   

Hope you enjoy the day and can smuggle some bits of the car out. ;)
