Im very happy, Lotus is returning! Just ot get this straight though, are their official name Lotus? or is it Malaysia1 whatever bla bla bla that was said earlier. Whatever, hopefully everyone, including the media, will continue to call it Lotus. now some people may say this isnt lotus, it wont be the same, they will be slow, and another 'Forti' will have come along.

but, IMO, It is Lotus, a works effort, just because they have different owners does not mean they are not Lotus. we dont call Ferrari Fiat do we, just because Fiat own them. and based in norfolk initially, how more lotus can you get with that one?

they may be slow next year, especially with cosworths, but in the long run can be competitive, with good backing, and can be another force india. just a malaysian/norfolk sort of one. Force NorfolkMalaysia maybe, No, Just Lotus.

good luck to them, if done right, they can succeed. maybe not initially, but success often takes time.
