On 5th November the second running of the Lotus 1000km race revived the tradition of long-distance racing at Brands Hatch in the United Kingdom.

The race features classes for Elise Trophy and Lotus Cup drivers and once more Dunas Douradas Beach Club was sponsoring a car in the 1000Km race. Our car was driven by Antonio Calado and Michael Duke and achieved an excellent 8th place (out of 40 participants) in the Lotus Elise category and 15th place in the overall rating.

Dunas Douradas Beach Club is proud to be associated with these prestigious races and look forward to continuing sports sponsoring in 2012.
