As news has been announced that Fairuz Fauzy will be Renaults Test driver, He will also be driving in GP2 for Supernova who will be backed by Proton. This got me thinking there maybe a bit too much saturation of Lotus and Related brands in the sport for 2011 in a race weekend.

F1:
Lotus Renault GP
Team Lotus

GP2:
Lotus ART
Proton backed Supernova
Air Asia

GP3:
Lotus ART

I know Lotus are expanding into motorsport but surely this a bit too much of a rip off based on a team that was much loved and died in 1994.

IMHO there can/could never be too many Lotus teams floating the grid in any serie's on any weekend.

Lotus and Lotus fight over Lotus

and

F1 set for more Lotus confusion

We won't be faster than Renault. But we are only one year old. Takes time to build a tree. We are building the right tree.

The fools! They are supposed to be building a car not a tree! maybe next year then...
