They took it to the track, so they must have had it in the back of a truck. Would a picture of the truck going down the highway count as a picture of it moving?

Endurance-Info are reporting that Mike Lancaster, Managing Director of AER, has confirmed that the Lotus P1/01 AER had a "fruitful two-day testing" at Monteblanco in Spain and that the AER engine did run without any issue. All systems have been "tested and checked according to the planed schedule":
Quote:
Mike Lancaster:
"Le Team Lotus et AER ont désormais achevé deux journées d’essais fructueuses avec la nouvelle LMP1 sur le circuit de Monteblanco en Espagne.
AER est content d’annoncer que le nouveau V6 turbocompressé AER P60 GDI a tourné sans problèmes pendant toute la durée des essais ; tous les systèmes ont été testés et vérifiés selon le programme prévu. Le moteur a été puissant, a bien répondu et a atteint son objectif en matière de consommation. Le team, AER et les pilotes attendent la prochaine course du WEC au Texas."
That would seem to suggest that the Lotus P1/01 did manage to turn a wheel () and that everything looks fine, on the engine side at least.

And the car did turn a wheel :

Albers was in Silverstone and Rossiter in Japan, and will test the next test at the end of this month.

Kaffer? That guy must be sick of racing at this point. From an empty season to running all the enduros + picking up a full season ride in a GTE and then testing a yet to be raced P1 car. Surely Kaffer won't race the Lotus at CoTa?

Depends whether it turns up I suppose. And whether it can do six hours. It's a new car after all.

With another test planned for the coming weeks, they should hopefully have some updates on their progress. Driver quotes will be interesting.

It would be extremely embarrassing for Oreca and Rebellion if the Lotus is quicker.

Rebellion should have a high-downforce package so hopefully the battle is good.

You know Mazda really isn't doing themselves any good with the factory name in the header... yeah sure Lolas can be rebranded as Mazdas, whatever, but they should just call the team Speedsource and save the company name.

The P1/01 undertook its second circuit test at the Lausitz two weeks ago with Kaffer and Bouchut driving, Bermes saying the team had "made good progress at the last test".

"We introduced some new parts, including aerodynamic pieces, and we have more coming for COTA," he explained.

Anyways I hope Auer has a great race and tells all his fellow F3 competitors how much fun prototype racing can be! Young drivers with budgets could be just what is needed to get some of the additional LMP-L projects going.

Seems like the recuperation of Lotus as a brand and some other factors are really starting to make a solid project here. That is great
