It really confuses me how you seem to be really up on your stats and knowledge and all, yet have let everything Lotus related pass you by, Sunama.....

So its not just me then?

I'm supporting the car with a Lotus chassis built from scratch in Norfolk and ignoring the fact that its racing under a Malaysian license.

I am not supporting the car with a Renault chassis, owned by some Luxembourg based business who purchased the team from some Frenchists, built in Oxfordshire and just happens to be sponsored by Group Lotus.

Now which Lotus do I support..........

Sick of websites saying KERS system, it stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, so Kinetic Energy Recovery System system.......maybe i'm just being pedantic

Hehehe.

The same is true when people talk about their PIN number.

It's strange, i know people who say PIN number who are older than me, but my friends and i say PIN and Blackberry PIN.

I just hope that Jake, DC and Brundle call it KERS, that should set people right.

I did that last year and Spie split them up.

Good read - http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2011/02/03/red-bull-at-a-higher-level-rinland/

Former F1 designer Sergio Rinland offered his thoughts on the Scuderia’s latest challenger, plus the new cars from Red Bull, Mercedes and Lotus.

Rinland previously worked for Benetton and Arrows and is perhaps best known for his ‘twin-keel’ design on the 2001 Sauber C20.

Wheeling the car in under a blanket with no wheels on it... weird.

Random guy carrying a wheel?

Whoa! Weird side pods!

And no Renault-like side exit exhausts as some had thought.

SPARC · 4 Feb 2011 at 11:03

WOW ... have McLaren made some cut backs because this looks very low tech lol
