Today in the afternoon they managed to drive first time laps in this years testing when they finally got powersteering working. They say setup work wasn't done yet etc and their lap time was 2,5 seconds slower than this weeks fastest laptime so I hope and want to believe that this car has a potential to become regular midfield racer on upcoming season. Almost 100 problem free laps today, so it is at least way better start than last year. Next test at Jerez will tell us more, hopefully.
I've said this before but if anyone is interested, follow Fernandes, Gascoyne, Kovalainen and Team Lotus in twitter and facebook. They are sending a lots of stuff all the time and it is interesting to follow.
