This is getting ridiculous now…
5th November 2010, 17:28 at 5:28 pm #150134ogamiiParticipantSweet! I’ve been supporting Team Air Asia this year and will keep an eye them but I have had a niggling in the back of my head that “it’s not really lotus”.
5th November 2010, 17:38 at 5:38 pm #150135Dan ThornParticipantI’d be surprised – wouldn’t changing the name have all sorts of implications who gets what amount of TV money at the end of the year?
5th November 2010, 17:40 at 5:40 pm #150136JourneyerParticipantIf Tony and Mike aren’t “really Lotus”, I shudder to think of what Dany and his gang are…
5th November 2010, 18:37 at 6:37 pm #150137EggryParticipantor maybe Force Malaysia?
5th November 2010, 18:59 at 6:59 pm #150138Red AndyParticipantSomeone on the main site a few weeks back told me what the Malay word is for lotus (the flower), I reckon they should use that if they’re not allowed to use the proper name!
5th November 2010, 19:23 at 7:23 pm #150139BullfrogParticipantI think Lotus should become Renault.

5th November 2010, 19:35 at 7:35 pm #150141ogamiiParticipantTony and Mike are doing a great job but when the dispute over the name started it left a bad taste in my mouth. I realise it happens all the time but i’m not a fan of the concept of purchasing heritage, honouring it I understand.
5th November 2010, 20:08 at 8:08 pm #150142Ned FlandersParticipantIt’s just occurred to me that if Renault are Lotusified, they will most likely lose their amazing yellow and black livery. For that reason alone I’m against this move
5th November 2010, 20:13 at 8:13 pm #150143AtanuParticipantI am with you Ned.. The Renault Livery is by far the best of century by far….
5th November 2010, 20:26 at 8:26 pm #150144Victor.ParticipantI agree – it is fantastic. But if the black Lotus livery comes back you can hardly be against it!
5th November 2010, 21:26 at 9:26 pm #150145AnonymousInactiveBuxton sums it up well http://willthef1journo.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/the-lotus-situation-in-a-nutshell/ i.e. a confusing mess.
5th November 2010, 21:45 at 9:45 pm #150146TommyBParticipantHaha love the post from Buxton.
5th November 2010, 22:28 at 10:28 pm #150147sbl on tourParticipantinteresting stuff, lotus should change their name to “fag packet engineering”, think colin chapman would like that!
