This is going to make things interesting, last season "Team Lotus" were using the test track at the Lotus car factory for testing.  I see this now being stopped if they are going to be competing against one another.  Team Lotus are the ones to support of the two, the Malaysians have now seen the value in the Lotus brand and are trying for a piece of the action.

So he's ok with being mugged around this time of year, but he agrees the beating was a step too far...Oh I love Bernie and his humour

Anyone here planning to go to any races next year?  I'm thinking of Silverstone.

That is SEXY

A proper Lotus back in F1, even if it is a rebadged Renault. I worked at RF1 up until a couple of months ago and I had no idea this was on the cards, at least it explains why Proton didn't want this year's Lotus team keeping the name....

Still think that the other team will be racing but the will be known as Lotus racing or Team Lotus depending on the ongoing court case.  Should make things a bit interesting especially as the Renault team is already quite well established and has the better drivers.

Now that makes the black and yellow renault look quite rubbish in comparison, I can't wait to see the Lotus cars next season they are going to look amazing.
