Lotus finished filming day at Brands Hatch
The former UK Grand Prix venue in Brands Hatch has hosted modern Formula 1 race cars for the first time in seven years, as Lotus has organized a filming day. Romain Grosjean, Pastor Maldonado and reserve racer Jolyon Palmer showed off the ride in this year's E23 and the Lotus 72E, driven by Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson between 1973 and 1974. Both race cars were on the track in the afternoon, while Lotus spent most of the morning filming in different parts of the racetrack, in the pits and showing the starts. The team opened a boxing street for fans during lunch. It was the first event at Brands Hatch after Lewis Hamilton drove a demonstration ride in the 2008 DTM with an MP4-23 race car, which he drove the same year.
