[lightmas]

its not quite offical yet

[Gary]

As close to official as it can get without being official.

[f1-cobra]

This should be Lotus F1, the rights to Team Lotus are owned by Litespeed in F3.

[Gary]

Litespeed owns 51% of F1 Team Lotus

[MissFinn]

[ScarletSkylines]

Haha Trulli rocking the pinstripes with Heikki looking rather suave I must say.

Thats the worst suit ive ever seen

[Jarnooo]

I guess i better jump on board!

Can't say i would've chosen that suit

EDIT: http://www.lotusf1racing.my/

does the green in the background say anything about the car?

would it be a crime to have british racing green on the car? some would say so

[MissFinn]

Thanks for the link, much better what I found.

I dont think it would be a crime? after all its Lotus color...

[arizal_adl]

The man who brought F1 near to me...

[Rus-Evo]

Where is the team based?

[arizal_adl]

Hingham, Norfolk

[MONSTAR]

I like the look of the new car.

Yep they have won we over and im officially a new fan of Team Lotus

[arizal_adl]

2 more days before we can see it more

[Gary]

Lotus looks relatively ready, albeit raw. Not bad for new team with shortest preparation time!

[arizal_adl]

seems like they are doing better that Virgin at the test... .. putting more laps, and better time.

and i can conclude that the car doesnt looks as ugly as i mentioned...

[Jarnooo]

I think it just hit me how rubbish Lotus will be this season

[Schumacat]

I think it just hit me how rubbish Lotus will be this season

I think having a car ready in such a short time is an achievement, considering they were the last to get an entry. Just look at where Campos and USF1 are. The only other new team Virgin is having reliability issues. I think for a new team, they have done a great job. Trulli admitted that they sacrificed aero efficiency for reliability. They are slowly improving. I think they will be closer by the end of the season.

[Jarnooo]

Yeah but for now they will be backmarkers and I don't like the sound of that
