Martin Donnelly will return to the cockpit of a Lotus 102 for the first time since his horrific Spanish Grand Prix crash of 1990 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Northern Irishman, who started 12 grands prix for the British constructor, will drive the Andrew Morris-owned car up the famous hillclimb course this weekend. Although the car is not the one he crashed at Jerez, it has been restored by Classic Team Lotus and features a period 3.5-liter V12 Lamborghini powerplant fitted with a modern engine management system.
Donnelly has continued his involvement with the Lotus name over the past few years as a driver and team owner in the Lotus Elise Trophy and was a race winner as recently as last weekend in an Evora in the Lotus UK Cup.
