Martin, is an Ambassador for Lotus Cars alongside Jean Alesi and Nigel Mansell. He is also Chief Instructor at the Lotus Driving Academy. After competing in Formula 3 and Formula 3000 he won 3 races and was a championship contender. During 1988, as well as fulfilling his racing commitments, Donnelly was the test driver for Lotus Formula One team. But it was during 1989 that Donnelly got his first race start when he substituted for Arrows driver Derek Warwick at the 1989 French Grand Prix. In 1990 he continued in F1 with Lotus as a race driver alongside new team mate Derek Warwick. Donnelly has since managed a Formula Vauxhall team. On July 2, 2011 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Donnelly drove a Lotus 102 similar to that which nearly took his life. The Lamborghini-powered car was the same specification as the car he drove in 1990, the original car having been completely destroyed in the crash. Having worked as sporting director and driver development manager at Comtec Racing, Donnelly has recently formed the Donnelly track academy specialising in Lotus trackday events and racing services in Norfolk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private Viewing of the Senna documentary<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gglotus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/senna_xlg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gglotus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/senna_xlg-337x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"senna movie poster\" width=\"337\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1972\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Special LOG Package to the Indycar Season finale on Sunday<\/strong><br \/>\nLOG 31 and Lotus Ltd have created a special package for the folks interested in attending the Indycar season finale on Sunday.
