I find it all rather suspicious.... however you can't blame the team for spinning round Vergne at the hairpin? I wonder how true the Porsche rumours are?

No he's not like James Hunt, he doesn't punch marshals in the kisser. Everyone knows what there going to get with Kimi. He does he's talking on the track.

WTF indeed. So even with the Lotus chassis designation it's still not a Lotus? Blimey! That Daniel Simon livery was beautiful too, such a shame. I suppose this is still part of DB's legacy?

[Autocar] Group Lotus being liquidated

J Saward will take any opportunity to highlight Lotus' troubles and put the boot in - not suprising considering he's Fernandes/Caterham relationship. -
Quality result for Kimi and the Enstone squad!

Independant specialist South East
Billy111S replied to Billy111S's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
It's losing coolant fluid. I'm topping it up about 1/2 pint every other day, I'm only doing two short runs to the station every day at the moment fortunately. I asked my dealer to run a pressure test to diagnose where the leak was coming from, but the response was a little vague. What I was met with was a reply of radiator removal at 5 hours and £508 bill just to inspect it!!! Rather disappointingly I had the rad replaced with an upgraded Motorsport one only two years ago due to a leak. So, you may see my quandary as to wanting to stiff out an Indy and a second opinion? -
Independant specialist South East

It's a cooling issue with the elise. The Indy doesn't have to be Motorsport inspired at all, just looking for someone descent who can undertake the occasional repair and service. Many thanks for the the tips guys i shall look them up. -
Would anyone be so kind to recommend a descent independant Lotus specialist somewhere in the South East? I'm through with my dealer at the moment. Looking anywhere inside the triangle of Reigate, Heathfield, Maidstone area would be perfect. My only lead at the mo is GT4 Motorsport at Brands Hatch.

Rumours from the Indian paddock - Lotus F1 Team discussing new owners? (27/10/12) Genii to Proton? Can't find any factual details of yet..... no, here's one. http://skiddmark.com/2012/10/genii-set-to-off-load-the-lotus-f1-team/ -
Before i'm shot down in flames, I know this is a serious sitution. But yesterday's press release I find amusing on so many levels. Check out the Sniff Petrol version. http://sniffpetrol.com/2012/04/11/lotusfirstdraft/
