The other one is just the 'spirit' of Lotus. :-) Kinda embarrassing if you think about it. One has the proper company and team backing, the other doesn't really. BMW Sauber Ferrari is due to technicality and bureaucracy. But it still sounds funny. So this is the real Lotus team.

Perhaps with much persuasion by Proton, they might get involve directly in F1 too. Pray hope. Lotus is trying to tap the vast American market, thus joining the IndyCar is a logical thing to do.

I assume Bahar meant the "top two open wheel racing" would be F1 and Indy.. They might not "directly involved" but they sure do have come connection. Lotus's F1 engine is also being supplied by Cosworth. . . Danny,
