On the road\, Lotus continued its legacy of excellence with iconic models like the Lotus Seven\, Elite\, and Elan\, proving that lightweight design and precision handling could deliver outstanding performance at a modest cost. \nMark your calendars. The Best of Britain: Lotus exhibition runs from February 8 through February 23 and will showcase an incredible selection of Lotus racing and road cars. On Saturday\, February 8\, the museum will also unveil its newest acquisition\, adding even more excitement to the opening of this special exhibit. \nAs an added bonus\, the Tourist Trophy Demo Day will also take place that day\, making February 8 an unforgettable experience for motorsports fans. \nFeatured exhibition cars will include – \n\n1955 Lotus Mk IX\n1956 Lotus Eleven\n1956 Lotus Mark VI\n1959 Lotus Elite\n1962 Lotus 23B\n1963 Super Seven\n1964 Lotus 30\n1965 Lotus Elan S2\n1965 Lotus Super 7 Series 2\n1966 Lotus Elan S3 Coupe\n1966 Lotus Cortina\n1967 Lotus Seven Series II\n1970 Lotus 70 Formula 5000\n1970 Lotus Elan S4\n1971 Lotus Elan S4\n1971 Lotus Type 69\n1974 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special\n1976 Lotus Elite\n1981 DeLorean DMC-12\n1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo\n1991 Lotus Esprit X180R\n1993 Lotus Sport 110\n2001 Lotus Esprit V8SE\n2007 Lotus Elise\n2008 Lotus Elise SC\n2009 Lotus Exige S-260 Sport\n2011 Lotus Evora

SUMMARY:Evening With A Legend: Adrian Fernandez
DESCRIPTION:Meet driver Adrian Fernandez on Wednesday 12 February at 4PM PT / 7 PM ET. \n\nIn 2007 Adrián Fernández made his debut at Le Mans taking home a second place in the LMP2 with the Barazi-Epsilon Team Zytek aboard a 07S/2 3.4-liter V8 prototype. This was the first podium for a Mexican at the Circuit de la Sarthe since those achieved by Ricardo & Pedro Rodríguez in 1962 and 1968\, respectively. \nThree years later in 2010\, Adrián found himself back at Le Mans this time behind the wheel of Aston Martin Racing’s LMP1 B09/60 finishing fifth in class (6th overall). However\, luck did not favor Adrián in 2011\, when his LMP1 Aston Martin AMR-One could barely complete two laps during testing. \nReturning for the 80th running of Le Mans in 2012\, Adrián and Aston Martin Racing took home a third place finish in the GTE-Pro class covering 332 laps without failures or serious mechanical problems. With his help\, the team achieved the fastest lap in their class at 3:54.928. Adrián had the distinct honor of driving the Aston to the checkered flag. On September 12\, 2012\, Adrián announced his retirement from World Endurance Championship\, concluding his relationship with Aston Martin Racing\, to begin focusing on competitions in the United States.
