Formula One driver Jarno Trulli enjoyed his first session testing the Lotus Evora Cup race car - and hopes there will be more to come. The veteran Italian will be driving for Lotus F1 Racing this season, but took time out yesterday to help Group Lotus carry out its shakedown test at a wintery Snetterton. Trulli said: "I have enjoyed driving the road going Lotus Evora very much and I believe that the Evora Cup will be a very competitive race car package. It was very rewarding to be the first to drive the Evora Cup race car even though the snowy conditions at Snetterton were fairly challenging at times. The car will continue to be developed with new updates coming soon, but even after the initial drive it is obvious that the car has huge potential. I know that my years of motorsport experience will help make the Evora Cup race car even better."
