Will be watching later.

Hope they give Kimi a good car this year, don't want to see him struggling with a poor car on his return.

For those that are wondering why this years Lotus car is named the E20

The car takes its name from the Enstone factory the team is based at, which was previously home to Renault and Benetton. The E20 is the 20th F1 car to be built there.

Cool teaser

Actually looking forward to seeing what they come up with, hopefully they didn't put all their eggs into one basket with regards to that ride height adjustment.

Kicking off in 10 minutes, Autosport and the Lotus website are streaming the event.

Oh and a little teaser.

Spoiler

Beaver nose!

 

[gumpy321]

It has a horrible nose looking from that picture.

 

[Skeeter]

I spy a stepped nose.

And do you think they could have possibly used a larger Lotus logo? Its hard to make it out...

Website refreshed and had this image in the "Our News" section.



A test unveiling? Or have they done it already and all gone home?

*edit*

Same here.



Oh dear... another car with a silly nose.

 

[Skeeter]

For most teams, if their website fell over as they were launching their new car I would feel sorry for them.

I cant help finding myself not giving a **** that the Lotus site has crashed...

Guessing how quick those pics came out, it wasn't actually live then?

 

[Shimmy]

 

[Swissy]

More duckbill platypus noses to look at

 

[Skeeter]

One of the less offensive step noses so far.

Other than that, looks pretty generic.

Wouldn't surprise me, its cold.
