There’s been talk of a London Grand Prix for some time now, and while Formula E will be coming to the city in June 2015, the chances of a full-blown F1 race are still slim.

Still, the prospect is an interesting one and in support of London Race Week – the prelude to the British Grand Prix – Lotus turned up with driver Marco Sørensen to take a run around a theoretical circuit in the Docklands area.

London Race Week kicks off on July 3 at the Royal Artillery Gardens on City Road. Attractions include:

> F1 cars performing high-adrenaline stunts

> Historic F1 cars

> Driver’s cricket match echoing those played in the 1970s

> Grand Prix Ball, the annual black tie spectacular attended by the stars of F1 – all in support of The Prince’s Trust

> Black Ball Race Forum – an F1 business forum

Tickets are £40 and can be purchased at www.raceweeklondon.com.
