- **Event Name**: 2026 Lotus versus the Dragon 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 24 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Welcome to the greatest Lotus driving event in America!

Lotus cars are built for the twisty mountain roads we have here in the Smokies, and this is the best way to explore the greatest roads in America! 

2023 was our inaugural event for Lotus versus the Dragon and we have grown every year since! This 2026 event is going to be bigger and better in every way and we will have multiple drive groups to ensure everyone has the greatest driving experience of their life. This event is hosted by locals to the Tail of the Dragon and we host more events in the Smoky Mountain region than anyone with our sister company, Smoky Mountain Drives. This event is dedicated to Lotus cars only.

This event will be three days and 600+ miles of driving the greatest roads America has to offer. Being local to this Smoky Mountain region, we are able to host events that are simply unmatched. We know these roads better than anyone and will not only take you through legendary roads like the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway, Hellbender, Devil's Triangle, Foothills Parkway, but we know of all the hidden gems that are equally amazing and far less travelled. We have everything taken care of from the driving routes, planned stops, have event photographers along for the ride, and so much more!
