Renault Kangoo from Andys Spares? :cooter:

[RussellT]

This is very confusing, no comment on the Lotus F1 web site are they now defunct? snared in a legal battle over rights to the Lotus name?

If they are it would be a shame they put up a great effort this year.

the gearboxes come out of the door under the stairs:scratch:

I don't think there is much that either team can do about what the other is called, however, one is 1/2 owned by a company that sells Lotus cars, and the other appears to be advertising said cars for free. I imagine that "1 Malaysia", is looking for an income stream that doesn't rely on faux history.
