Lotus 23B returns

Nic Carlton-Smith gave his Lotus 23B its first race at Silverstone recently when he shared it with Sam Wilson in the Guards Trophy. As a double Formula Junior champion, Carlton-Smith has added the Lotus sports-racing car to his stable and ran it in at Turweston airfield before the Silverstone weekend. “It’s not raced for at least six years,” said Suffolk-based Carlton-Smith.
