Two years ago club member Phil. S made the jump from track day hero to bona fide racing driver as he joined the LoTRDC Elise Trophy series and had a crack at one of the most exciting and competitive single make series in the UK.

Since then Phil has worked his way up from running towards the back of the grid to become a regular Top 10 finisher, including a fantastic 2nd place at Brands Hatch this year, all while keeping costs to a reasonable level and even driving his race car to and from the circuit for each race.

So if you’re interested in what it’s like to turn a wheel in anger for the first time, or are yourself interested in joining in and competing in the Elise Trophy series, we thoroughly recommend you take a look, and let us know what you think in our forum thread.
