While Rossiter was announced as returning to co-drive the No. 31 for the season-ending 6 Hours of Bahrain, he was unable to attend, and thus Lucas Auer, the Formula Three European Championship fourth-place finisher and nephew of former Formula One driver Gerhard Berger, filled his place for his debut sports car endurance racing event. The two Lotus T128s qualified in seventh and eighth on the LMP2 grid. Liuzzi was involved in a collision with the No. 35 OAK Racing Nissan Morgan LMP2 in the first hour, sending the No. 31 car into the gravel trap. A few minutes later, Kraihamer made an error and hit the left-rear corner of Richard Lietz's No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR. The Lotus stopped at turn ten for 20 laps before it was confirmed as a non-finisher due to the heavy damage it sustained. Competing with the T128, the Lotus team accumulated 37 and 11 points for both cars, placing them seventh and eighth respectively in the FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Teams. After the season, Lotus moved into the LMP1 category, and replaced the T128s with a new car, the &lt;a href="CLM%20P1/01"&gt;CLM P1/01&lt;/a&gt;.
