Lotus at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019
- Celebrating the unbreakable #Goodwood lap-record
- New #evoragt4 #concept race car world dynamic debut
- Legendary cars reunited with legendary drivers
- Prize draw to win the Jim Clark Trust #Lotus Evora, signed by all 2019 F1 drivers
Lotus is following this year’s #Goodwoodfestivalofspeed 2019 theme ‘Speed Kings – Motorsport's Record Breakers’ with a celebration of some of the most successful, pioneering and record-setting cars ever made, and the drivers that steered them.
Goodwood is the perfect setting for #Lotus to follow up on last year’s 70th anniversary celebrations with an even greater presence in 2019.
The #Lotus stand will house the current #Lotus range of Elise, Exige and Evora, plus the recently unveiled #Lotus #evoragt4 #concept race car which will be campaigning in the global GT series in 2020.
Alongside the #evoragt4 #concept will be a very special #Lotus Type 25 F1 car – the almost mythical 25/R6 – which is the actual car in which Jim Clark set the best ever time of 1:20.4 for a lap of the #Goodwood circuit in 1965 *.
This lap time has never been and never will be bettered due to changes in the original configuration of the circuit, and #Lotus is grateful to the Museum Tinguely for the loan of this unique race car.
Another Jim Clark record still standing is his eight “Grand Slams”: pole position, fastest lap, leading every lap and victory all in the same race, two of which he achieved in 25/R6 at the 1964 British GP and the 1965 French GP. Jim Clark is still way ahead of the next best three who are on five “Grand Slams” each. **
There will be two #evoragt4 #concept race cars at #Goodwood this year – both in identical colour schemes mimicking the #Lotus Type 25 livery. One will be on the #Lotus stand, while the other will be driven up the #Goodwood Hill Climb course by Lotus’ Director of Vehicle Attributes, Gavan Kershaw, a former winner of the British GT Championships in a #Lotus Evora.
