The Lotus team will officially unveil its 2010 car in London on Friday as the legendary name returns to Formula 1 for the first time since 1994. The contender, which is yet to be named publically, enjoyed a successful first track outing in the hands of test driver Fairuz Fauzy on Tuesday.
With Tony Fernandes' Norfolk-based, 1Malaysia operation reintroducing the Lotus brand to F1, Mike Gascoyne has designed the car which was shaken down successfully on Silverstone's Stowe circuit in an historic green and yellow livery.
Race winners Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen - who switch from Toyota and McLaren respectively - will spearhead the driver line-up this season, with the Hingham squad now preparing for the launch ceremony at the British capital's Royal Horticultural Hall.
