I recently visited the Lotus Cars factory and test track up in Hethel, Norfolk. The factory was fascinating, the cars were brilliant and the various Lotus people I met were friendly and knowledgeable about the brand and business.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 5 November, Speedmonkey will be entirely devoted to Lotus Cars, including:
Lotus Exige S Roadster - Track Test Review
Lotus Cars - Tales From A Factory Tour
Lotus Cars - Guide To Each Model Including Prices And Stats
Come back tomorrow for an insight into this most sporty of British sports car companies. For now here's a taster - two laps of the Hethel test track in an Exige S Roadster with Lotus Cars Senior Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics, Darren Cockle giving us a guided tour.

When you announced this you said you will bring your kid. Did you do it and what was the reaction?

He absolutely loved it. He's not normally into cars but loves Lotuses. He even got 3 laps in an Exige S round the track, in the passenger seat of course, but with one of the development engineers at the wheel so he was thrashing it
