Lotus Race & Track Car Hire

We are now offering Lotus cars for either track day or race car hire.

If you want to drive one of the most exciting track cars there is or already own a Lotus but don't want to drive it on track then we can hire a race prepared S2 Elise to you. It has 150 bhp with a 0-60 of 5 seconds, full roll cage, fire extinguisher and electrical cut out. The performance has also been improved with race specification brakes, suspension and a race exhaust. We get the car to the track you want to drive - you just turn up and drive. We run sessions for different abilities and include an instructor and engineer. We are happy to cater for group events when the car(s) can be shared with friends or colleagues - this way the cost can be shared.

Our ethos is to look after our toys and make sure that everyone gets to play - so we (and our insurers!) insist on an instructor for all track day drivers.
Race Car Hire

Have you been inspired by the success of the Elise Trophy race series? One of the benefits of this series is that it has helped Lotus Elise and Exige owners make the transition from road to track cheaply and easily. Class A is for road going cars with little or no modification - except the compulsory safety features (roll cage, safety cut out and fire extinguisher).

So you want to be a racing god? Here's a basic guide. First, you need to get your ARDs (Association of Racing Drivers) race license. The Motorsports Association lists schools around the country where you can do this.

Second, your need all the gear - crash helmet (known as a lid), race suit and fire-proof undies - plenty of race suppliers out there on the web.

Next, you need a car. This is where we can help. We hire out a race prepared Elise (see above for specification), complete with professional race engineer for the day to help with things like tyre pressures, refuelling as well as general advice about the circuit proceedures, do's and dont's, etc. You don't have to worry about trailering the car to the circuit - we do all that - you just turn up and drive.

Finally, you need to contact Elise Trophy regarding entering a race.
