Racing for newcomers Data General Racing last time out, little was expected from either the team or Alex Lloyd. But both impressed in their first year, with regular midfield qualifying and race finishes, often finishing ahead of the struggling Motori Moderni and West teams, and occasionally mixing it with the likes of Lion Grand Prix and Audi. Aside from this, Lloyd also succeeded in scoring points twice throughout the season, with a debut point in Britain, followed by an impressive drive to seventh at the American Grand Prix, having started 18th on the grid. So Alex is rewarded for his efforts by a move up to the second seat at the ever improving Lotus Racing team. The expectation will be much higher on Alex this time around, plus he also faces the challeneg of beating his team mate. Lloyd didn't have a team mate last season, let alone anyone established or highly regarded, so his biggest challenge perhaps will be to get on terms with team mate Giorgio Mondini, a driver who vastly improved throughout last year and is now widely seen as one of the sports best talents. Lloyd will have the Swiss in his sights, and apart from outperforming him, will be looking to continue his solid qualifying and race performances of last season as he establishes himself on the grid.
