i can only feel it will be the same as when Jaguar returned, lot of hype then no real go.

Serious investment will be needed.

Agreed. :y Mansell, Prost and Senna slugging it out in legendary fashion. Great video. :y

Reading the Lotus article it sounds like Lotus have got some serious Malaysian/Air Asia backing so they might well become serious contenders.

I doubt this is anything to do with Lotus as we knew it.Probably just bought the rights to use the name,which iirc was owned by James Hunts younger brother.
