Gauss, just curious, which team do you, as a Lotus fan, regard as the real Lotus?

Is it Caterham that was originally Lotus Racing before briefly being called Team Lotus? This is really Tony Fernandes's private team as part of his Air Asia/QPR airline/sports brand.

Or is it Lotus Renault that is merely sponsored by Lotus but owned by Genii Capital? IMO this is still really the Renault works team and it is very French in character.

Honestly, I don't regard either of them as being true successors to Colin Chapman ... nowadays, it's all just about branding for new teams like this.

You have pretty much summed everything up, Easy. Smiley That's exactly how I see it too. Neither is clearly Lotus, that's a thing of the past. There are currently rumours about Genii eventually buying into Lotus (not sure how much of this is really true), so we'll see how this will turn out.
