This year the Caterham Festival was at Brands Hatch again.

As usual, the Lotus 7 Club had a big presence at the Festival, this year the Club had hired the Foulston Centre, which overlooked the circuit and offered fantastic views of the track.

From the roof of the Foulston Centre almost the whole track can be seen.

We visited the Festival on the Sunday - by the time we got there, many others had already arrived - many in 7's, leading to some massive line-ups!

I have no idea what that is on her head - but it was a little chilly!

All colours represented...

....on one car in some cases!

In this case, a Westfield.

Small display of classic Lotus in front of the Foulston Centre...

....and the first time I have seen my logo on a flag!

The Club had a whole floor, with refreshments, banter, and of course that track view from the warmth of inside!

'Richard in France' had a display of his carbon products - here his frame has been removed from his stand so I could photograph it, but the light was very poor.

Club Regalia was also on sale within the Centre, and did a brisk trade.

Roof-top view a little windier, but a great place to see and hear the whole track.
