The Jim Clark Trust are organising a weekend event at Duns to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jim’s first F1 World Championship and also Team Lotus first F1 Constructors World Championship.
The event will be based at Duns Castle where there will be a big display of Lotus racing cars raced by Jim during his career. Other vintage Lotus and sports cars will also be there plus a big display of Lotus road cars. It is hoped that the engines of the Grand Prix cars will be started periodically over the weekend to enable visitors to hear the evocative noise they generate.
Club Lotus members’ cars will be a key part of the event and will be on display in the Duns Castle car park for visitors to admire.
There will be a £5 entry fee per day for the general public but all Club Lotus members who pre-register with either Andrew Laing (email: andrew@laingsfoundry.co.uk), Bob Dickson (email: rsdlotus@gmail.com) or Club HQ will gain free entry.
The opening hours are 10.00 to 4.00pm Saturday and 10.00 to 3.30pm Sunday after which we will head to Chirnside to lay a wreath on Jim’s grave.
