Pizza and Movie Night Two!

The upcoming Movie/Pizza Night will take place on Tue. Mar. 1st 2011 starting at 6:30pm.

The location will be Lotus Of Portland (www.lotusofportland.com).
The movie from Classic Team Lotus will be: LOTUS GOES TURBO

This excellent archive film charts the move to turbo power by the JPS Lotus Formula One team. Starting from the announcement in 1982, exceptional behind-the-scenes footage takes you through the full development of the chassis which would carry Renault’s hugely powerful turbo engine in the 1983 season. With unprecedented access to the Lotus headquarters in Norfolk, you follow the process from design and model building to racetrack as Elio de Angelis and Nigel Mansell give the new car its first test. The period also saw the tragic loss of the legendary Colin Chapman, and the film shows how his team overcame his death and continued developing the car which would create a new era in Team Lotus history. The movie also includes, Anatomie d’Un Depart, an extraordinary short film showing the build up to a Grand Prix start, including rare footage of drivers like Ayrton Senna and many others preparing to race.

There will also be a second movie produced by Ford and provided by Jim McVein which includes Jim Clark driving a Lotus Cortina and an early 60’s Sebring race.

Pizza will be provided by Lotus Of Portland (THANKS STEVE !!!). You need to bring your own beverages (adult are OK). Also if you have a folding chair, bring that along as seating can be limited.

This should be a great warm up to the 2011 F1 season that starts in March, featuring four Lotus cars with Renault engines.

CLNW shirts will also be available for purchase during the evening
