After last year's success of the Lotus Challenge Series, the program will be expanded to ten western U.S. events for 2010 that begin this January. Lotus will again be the title sponsor for the series.
Started by Lotus owner Jim Navarro, the series is basically just a place for Lotus owners to get together and bond over their vehicles. Eight races were held in its first year, with six in Cali and two at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada - where the Lotus Driving School resides.
"The Lotus Challenge Series is a very well run organization that's expanding through providing Lotus owners a fun, safe and positive environment in which to enjoy their Lotus vehicles and improve their driving skills," said Lotus director of operations Arnie Johnson.
It's comprised of several classes that include both the Elise and Exige street cars and the track-only racers like the Exige Cup Car 255 and 2-Eleven. The Lotus Challenge Series kicks off January 23 just outside of Rosamond, CA at Willow Springs Raceway.
