As a long and challenging season draws to a close, Lotus Jetalliance looks forward to a strong finishing performance from both Evora GTE cars at the Six Hours of Zhuhai in China this weekend (November 12th/13th). The first challenge has already been overcome simply by the team being in attendance at the race this weekend. After the team’s last outing in Atlanta which saw both cars retire with severe damaged there was uncertainty as to whether all the repairs could be completed on time, however the Lotus Jetalliance team pulled out all the stops to finish repairs in record time. Team Principal Jan Kalmar: “One car is completely ready and we’re carrying out the fina…

After the first 12 hours have passed the two Lotus Evora from Lotus Alliance is still in the game. The cars have more or less behaved as expected. The race has been influenced by two very long safety car periods due to some very scary collision. Fortunately, none of our vehicles involved in the incidents. However, the # 64 suffered a minor collision, but could come back to the pits. After a great job of mechanics the car came fairly quickly back on track. This post has been promoted to an article
