Lotus To IndyCar '012

[NismoZ]

Sounds like with KV...gee, they probably get to use a Japanese engine and French tub...BUT...they get to choose their own aero package. (as long as it's the same as anyone else can use) Maybe it'll be green!:gomer:

Colin Chapman is rolling in his grave over this announcement.

Tony Fernandes has an aero crew and a cf facility & if he can make a few bucks selling kit to IRL teams well it is cash in his pocket for most likely very little effort.

His outfit isn't Lotus.

[cameraman]

So is it Proton Holdings owned Lotus Cars that is making bits or 1Malaysia F1 Team Sdn. Bhd. owned Lotus Racing that is making the bits?

[STD]

His outfit isn't Lotus.

:thumbup:




Who owns Fondtech? :rofl:

Who owns "Lotus"? Can you paint anything green and yellow and call it a Lotus?

[grungex]

There is Lotus Cars, owned by Proton, which makes the road cars. I believe they are also KV's sponsor. Lotus F1 is pretty much Lotus in name only. Classic Team Lotus is run by Colin Chapman's son Clive, and exists primarily to support vintage Lotus F1 and other race cars.

Yes, but they may a bit puzzled and not care for the smell of the paint... :gomer:
