Nothing to do with betting this post and all about F1! A few weeks ago I went to take a look around the Classic Team Lotus workshop in Hethel (Norfolk). It was good to see all the old Lotus cars and see some of the memorabilia they had. If you want to find out more about them you can see there website http://www.classicteamlotus.co.uk/. Here are a few pics of my visit.

That’s me sitting in an old Nigel Mansell car. Unfortunately it was just the shell but it didn’t matter because as you can see I was struggling to reach the peddles anyway!
The last picture is an ‘official timing’ log from the Zeltveg GP in 1982. These days I sit at a PC in my room, watching the times for every driver on every lap just seconds after the lap time was set. I will never complain again when the live timing is ‘slow’ or the ITV practice feed fails.
that black lotus is a real thing of beauty, shame today's sponsoring really clutters some of the design, the myearthdream honda of 07 and 08 is horrid, would've preferred them to go with the black design they had in pre-season testing 07.
The West-McLaren of the Hakkinen days is the latest really good looking car that springs to mind.
Couldn't agree more. Most of today’s cars are similar colours also - the number of times I have confused a Force India car head on with a McLaren is not good!
One of my favorite cars of recent years was the yellow Jordan’s but even they became full of sponsor logos.
We need some different livery’s but everyone these days wants to go for colours which will show the sponsors name the best on TV.
