Charouz already competed for Lotus in the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship and has proved that he is a talented driver. Together with his team mates in car #32, James Rossiter and Kevin Weeda, he started from LMP2 Pole Position into the 6 Hours of Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Lotus bids welcome to Praga and Jan Charouz and is pleased about working with them throughout the whole season.<\/p>\n
