Racing in Fast Seventies
31 May 2025
This season we are exploring the Dutch Racing Championship Fast Seventies, which is open only to cars built between 1966 and 1981. Since the season is already underway, we are not aiming for a top championship result. Instead, we are selecting some standout events from the calendar to see, if this is the ideal new playing field for the Lotus Europa.

Plans for Season 2025
09 January 2025
As the 2025 season approaches, we are excited to announce our plans. Rather than competing in the BELCAR Historic Cup championship, we’ve decided to divide our attention between different historic racing competitions for this year. The Lotus Europa is undergoing several modifications aimed at enhancing performance and smashing personal best lap times. Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for a lovely season ahead!
Failure of Brand New Part in Race 1
16 October 2024
The last race of the season was held at the Nürburgring GP track. At the end of qualifying, an ignition issue appeared, which could be fixed shortly before the start of race 1. But a malfunction in the new (!) distributor cap caused the engine to die just before during the formation lap. With the old cap, we could at least finish race 2 solidly and score enough points to secure 8th place overall in the championship. 7th place in the final standings was lost due the failure just before race 1.
Positive Roll-Out Race in Assen
16 September 2024
Roll-out after the crash repair went well and brought a bunch of championship points. All rebuilt components work as intended and a basic suspension set-up was found. Next time, we'll try and attack some of the cars, which were ahead in Assen. Too soft tyres cost a lot of performance, but we'll have better tyre options for the last race in October.
Crash Repair is Finished
01 September 2024
After the potentially season-ending crash at the Historic Grand Prix Zolder, we are now back on track for the Classic GP in Assen. The chassis and body repair are both finished. In addition, the suspension on all four corners has been upgraded and strengthened. Nonetheless, the race in Assen can only be seen as a test. The car was changed so heavily that a lot of set-up work has to be done, before the real racing can start again.
Crash in Race 1 Means Zero Points
22 July 2024
The Historic Grand Prix weekend at Circuit Zolder went especially bad for us. The race started off quite nicely with eight positions gained in just four laps. But after a Safety Car re-start, the Lotus suffered rear left suspension failure under heavy braking, which led to a 360° spin and a crash into the barrier. Now, we are working very hard to get the car back on track for the next race in Assen.
Finally Reliable
20 May 2024
After troubled years with a variety of reasons for retirements, our Lotus Europa has finished four BELCAR Historic Cup races in a row in 2024. That's a solid basis for further progress. The races in Zolder went trouble-free and at the end we finished 6th in Platform 2, which is nice considering the quality of opposition.
Solid Start to the Season
30 April 2024
The 2024 edition of the Spa Summer Classic was blessed with cool, but dry weather conditions. The new engine and gearbox configurations proved reliable and every session went to plan. At the end, we could finish 2nd in class in both races, in front of several much younger 1600 cc cars.
