I like the fact they are using the proper Lotus logo, It looks the part unlike the Lotus Racing effort this year, their logo looked well s***!

Such old news

I am sure I broke the story here

[What's Burning?]

Good looking car actually.

Ok So the chassis will still be a Renault but Lotus is just a sponsor? So will we see the Lotus racing still use that name for their chassis?

this is silly.

This has spun so much and it's all as clear as mud to me, so at this point I really don't give a shiite what the names and nuances are... someone does, but me, just put a race worthy car on the grid.

Gotta be a Lotus car now with a works Renault engine, surely? I've never ever seen one manufacturer have another simply as a sponsor on their car, that seems like such a crazy conflict of interest!

this could get confusing

Legard "oh! and the LOTUS has crashed!!"
Brundle "The Renault Lotus is out!!"
Legard "yeh the Original Renault team"

Think it would be a good move for Renault (I just mean the f1 team) regardless of the name issues.
