Goodwood 2025 calendar here:

https://www.goodwood.com/globalassets/pdfs/motor-circuit/mc-diary/goodwood-motor-circuit-diary-2025.pdf

Only reference to Lotus I could find is 18th August, 'Caterham and Lotus 7 club'.

Although its my local circuit, I don't really like Goodwood. Long, fast straights, no run off on a number of the bends, and like a lot of ex WW2 airfield perimeter tracks - its completely flat. Not really Elan territory. I much prefer club circuits like Brands Hatch - its got a hill as well.

Edit: Just for what its worth -

Unfortunately the "Club Lotus" Goodwood track day shall not be happening this year as the Goodwood calendar was full across all practical dates for the 'regular' participants. I believe it is getting more and more difficult (and expensive) to secure track day dates at Goodwood even for people who have faithfully returned year after year for 40 years in this case.
This is a sad situation, as the organisers puts in a huge amount of effort and the postponement is no reflection on them.
I shall certainly miss my springtime "fast drive in the country"
