A bit of a shame,as I couldnt see why Renault thought they should be able to use the Lotus name. The only connection afaik was the fact that Lotus used Renault engines in the Senna era. Cynical marketing imo.
Caterham name being used is a bit strange tbh. Some sort of licensing agreement,although Caterham is hardly a global brand. :-\
