Here is my Lotus livery for 2010, not sure all the old Lotus sponsors will sign up again but it would be nice. Green and yellow livery was difficult to work with, without making look exactly like the Lotus 49 etc.

Hope you guys like it.

I like it. I'm pretty sure their car won't look that good though.

Nice livery, although it reminds me of a John Deere tractor.

Given the ban on tobacco sponsorship, I know it would be impossible for a JPS livery, but not impossible to have a black & gold car. A sponsorship by UPS would do it, I mean, it almost spells like JPS.

I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop now, nostalgia is getting a hold on me.

Outstanding job hanmer, one can only hope Mike Gascoyne follows F1T. Does he, Ciro?

doh! hanmer is Mike Gascoyne. These new teams have such small staff numbers (1) that the principal has to do the paint job as well as the toaster design. I wonder if the Lotus fridge door is bigger than USF1's?

Aha, that's why Mike had to bring his own scale-model for the wind-tunnel. Perhaps he can fix Jarno's hairdo as well?

For some reason the livery of the old Leyton House keeps springing to mind. It could be something to do with the colour being Malaysia's (perhaps because of the Foggy Pertronas Superbike?).

Either way I'm really looking forward to seeing how they do. Maybe I'm becoming a closet fanboy.

Website is up: http://www.lotusf1racing.my/

Windtunnel testing here: http://www.lotusf1racing.my/windtunnel.html

So far, they are the most open of the new teams to showing what they are up to. Whitch is all good in my opinion.
