So that's 2 teams with green and yellow cars on the GP2 grid next year? That livery was last used in the late 60's right?
What/who was involved in the 1996-1997 Esprit-Elise GT1 efforts (was it Team Lotus)? And in the recurring rumours of Hunt wanting to come back in F1 with the Lotus name in the last 10 years?
To me, the name should go to those who own it and use it to sell road cars (a range of 5 new cars starting from 2014!). Malaysian politics are at work here (and impossible to understand), but I wouldn't underestimate the ex-Ferrari mafia at Lotus and their connections with the FIA and other important people in the sport.
