Lotus Giudici Racing finished eighth and sixth respectively in the weekend’s two Super GT races at Belgium’s legendary Spa circuit. The Evora GTE’s talents in the wet were put on display on Sunday, outpacing Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren and Corvette. With team owner Gianni Giudici sidelined due to a neck problem sustained during qualifying, it fell to Lotus works racer Johnny Mowlem to do all the driving work. Johnny Mowlem: “A very good weekend, we ran two seconds a lap quicker than last year at Spa. Sunday’s race was very treacherous but the Evora did well, coming in 6th in Super GT and 11th overall. Brand Hatch will be our next International GT race, on the 14th and 15th July, so hopefully we’ll have a lot of support for Lotus’s home race.” -
Lotus Giudici Racing scored their first points of the season with their Evora GTE in Germany. Works driver Johnny Mowlem started the 70 minute-long first race from 13th and fought up to sixth place in the Super GT class, the team’s best finish in an international field. For Race 2 he started 14th, but was hit at the first corner and suffered a broken diffuser. The team lost a lap as they made hurried repairs. Then they were handed a drive-thru penalty for being two seconds under the minimum time that teams can spend in the pits. With that, the chance of points vanished and the team chose to retire from the race. Johnny Mowlem: “Sixth place was a super result for us, given this was the Evora GTE’s best ever finish in an international field with such a high number of entries – 26 cars. It was especially encouraging given this was a short race, and therefore more reliant on out-and-out performance than reliability. I actually drove the whole of the first race on my own as the team wanted to give us the best opportunity to get a good result, so I had a lot of fun.” The pace of the car is improving all the time and we have genuine reasons to be positive.”
