Lotus have been left in the cold after confirmation that all remaining ten teams will attend the opening pre-season test session next week in Jerez, Spain.
The Enstone outfit recently confirmed it wouldn't be present, citing additional factory development time being more important than on-track testing.
It seems nobody else agrees after Marussia became the final team to confirm it will debut its 2014 car, the MR03, in Spain in just a few days time.
"For those of you asking if we'll be in Jerez next week ... we will indeed," the team posted on Twitter.
"Can't wait to see the new MR03 out on track!"
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier recently said he was certain they wouldn't be the only team skipping Jerez.
"You will see, we will not be the only team not being in Jerez," he said. "I know this for a fact already."
It seems his facts aren't quite that and Lotus could pay the penalty for skipping the test which has been described as "vital" by several rivals.

Eric Boullier does repeatedly not appear to know difference between facts and fiction. Or is he simply just not connected well with anybody or totally naive? E.g. Payment of staff and drivers, deal with Quantum Motorsports and transfer of much needed money to Lotus, now the car launches? <think>

Lotus has lost another high profile engineer as Ciaron Pilbeam has chosen to leave in favour of a position at McLaren.
Pilbeam was Mark Webber's chief race engineer at Red Bull for many years before he moved to Lotus last year.
In the wake of financial struggles at Lotus, a number of engineers have fled, Pilbeam being one of several.
McLaren meanwhile has been on a recruitment driver to bolster its technical department after a below par 2013 season.

If they carry on this way Lotus will just be Boullier and Maldonado and an old transit van
