The story of Ypres Lotus Day began on a terrace at the grand place of Ypres in 2008. A group of friends from the Belgium lotusforum, fresh from a thrilling rally with Pascal's classic Elan +2, came together to share stories and laughs. It was during these moments, over a few beers, that the concept of Ypres Lotus Day was born. Dirk Kestelyn, Pascal Vasseur, and Frederik Van Cauwenberghe joined forces to transform this dream into reality.

The first edition of Ypres Lotus Day in 2009 welcomed 45 cars, with a strong presence of lotusforum members. The event's success left everyone craving for more, and Frederik's expertise in commercial and communication skills helped promote the event across Europe. Today, Ypres Lotus Day has blossomed into a gathering of 125-145 participants from various countries, including Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, France, and beyond.

The Lotus Drivers Club are pleased to support the Ypres Lotus Day and we encourage members to attend and experience the event. Further details and registration information can be found at ypreslotusday.be or by contacting organisation@ypreslotusday.be

We hope to see some of you at the Ypres Lotus Day in 2025.
