Group Lotus Motorsport presents a little something from the weekend....
FORMULA ONE – BELGIAN GRAND PRIX
Lotus Renault GP made a big step forwards in performance at Spa-Francorchamps, with the R31's latest upgrades bringing both drivers into the top ten in qualifying. Reuniting the black-and-gold Lotus Renault with a famous yellow, blue and green helmet, Bruno Senna made his debut for the team with a phenomenal wet qualifying lap which put him seventh on the grid. Vitaly Petrov lined up tenth. At the start, Senna out-braked himself into the first corner, hitting the Toro Rosso of Jaime Alguersuari. A pitstop and a subsequent drive-thru penalty saw the Brazilian drop through the field and he finally finished 13th. Petrov ran as high as seventh but, in the final laps, was suffering from huge brake wear and coasted over the line in ninth.
"Only a car from Lotus, the British maker of stripped down 2-seaters with suspensions sprung tighter than Tom Jones’ trousers, could illicit such an observation...If ever there were a race-ready sports car a person could live with every day, this is it."
Throughout the year, Popular Mechanics record the functionality, technology, value and feel of new cars from their test drives and argues the 2011 Lotus Evora is on of the Top 10 Cars of 2011.
Lotus sent a cryptic missive last year indicating it wanted to challenge Porsche and Ferrari. Aiming at those targets, it pulled the trigger five times at the Paris Motor Show this year, unleashing the new Elise, Elan, Esprit, Elite and Eterne showcars.
When driving is in your blood, you can't help but feel your pulse beat stronger when you catch sight of the new generation cars from Lotus. Powerful, sleek and stirring, they're the result of Lotus doing what it has always done with an unquenchable passion: innovate.
