Fauzy joins Lotus Renault GP

18 January 2011

Following a year as Lotus Racing test driver, Fairuz Fauzy will join forces with the newly-branded Lotus Renault GP team in 2011. Fauzy's new assignment was announced on Tuesday evening, with the Malaysian driver also confirming that he will be competing in the upcoming GP2 season.

Fauzy joined Lotus Racing at the start of the 2010 season, and was responsible for rolling-out the squad's T127 chassis. The outfit has since changed its name to Team Lotus, and ahead of this year's championship the 28-year-old has decided to move to rivals Renault.

Speaking about the announcement Fauzy said: "I would like to thank Lotus Renault for giving me this opportunity and to be part of this team. The Lotus Renault team is a great team and I will try my best to become a race driver one day.”
