Lotus Renault GP fires up its 2011 car

NEWS STORY
25/01/2011

Monday was an eventful day for Lotus Renault GP, for, other than its naming rights court case in London, the team fired up its 2011 contender at its Enstone HQ.

With the team transporters leaving for Valencia on Saturday, ahead of Monday's launch, the team fired up the new car ahead of its track debut on Tuesday.

The first glimpse of the R31 will take place at the Ricardo Tormo circuit on Monday when the covers will be pulled back at 12:30 (local time), slightly later than originally scheduled to avoid an overlap with the Sauber launch.
Testing begins the following day when Vitaly Petrov will be the first man to get behind the wheel of the R31, with Robert Kubica taking over for the remaining couple of days.

The British outfit has also confirmed its schedule for the other tests:

Jerez:

10-11 Feb: Petrov
12-13 Feb: Kubica

Barcelona:

18-19 Feb: Petrov
20-21 Feb: Kubica

Bahrain:

3-4 Mar: Kubica
5-6 Mar: Petrov
