Team Lotus will be unveiling its 2011 racer – the Team Lotus TL11 – online in its new Team Lotus Notes magazine at 0500 hours GMT on Monday, January 31. Team Lotus Notes is a new free publication about the team and you can subscribe to it free at this form.
The TL11-01 will make its first test debut at Valencia with Trulli and Kovalainen at the wheel. The team will not be participating on the 1st February test, instead opting to do a private test day on the 4th instead, together with on-track filming.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
TL = Tony Loser
As the saying goes.. takes one to know one ;) Congratulations on the very intelligent post.
I see what you did there. Hehehe.
The problem with us Malaysian is that they somehow hates TF more than they hates TL. So, whatever TF do, it got whacked till no end. Even if one day TL manage to win a race, they will surely be condemn. We truly lack sportsmanship.
Really looking forward to seeing this :)
“the most exciting team in Formula one” -quote from pic-
bwahaha….what’s so exciting about?
being at the back of the pack?sheesh..
Isnt Tony Fernandes just asking for trouble? There is a Lotus Notes by IBM already.
Get a better name, dude!

That’s part of the strategy. Getting free publicity when IBM sues TF. Hey, this time around, the news will spead far and wide – far beyond the realms of F1 fans.
in subang also got Lotus Curry House..
why in the world that loser TF change the Lotus logo??? Ripoff jerk!!
Where? I thought they closed at SS15 many moons ago?
Unless one is blind as a bat I’m sure one can see the difference between ‘TEAM LOTUS NOTES’ and LOTUS NOTES by IBM.
This ‘Lotus’ suing issue has blown out of proportion. At this rate even the Lotus plant must be taken to court.
If you’ve got a personal vendetta against Fernandes for murdering your family or conning you your life savings then go ahead, get your sniper rifle and take him down. or at least fly MAS and don’t take AA. Since the way people talk it is as if AA is conning people instead of lowering travel costs for your family.
Take Fernandes down but don’t take Team Lotus down or his Tune group of companies. He is just one person in a massive organisation and MANY Malaysians are very happy to make a living in his organisation and to be honest if you actually get to talk to his employees he is not that lousy of a boss at all. Quite the opposite.
chill la~
Another orchestrated effort to benefit from using Lotus moniker. Later he can claim “losses” to GL Lotus.
I’m huge fan of Tony Fernandez as a AA, or very proud of AA logo don by FA referees BUT never ever in this F1 business. This sport meant for F1 aficionados not someone with less courageous to use his own brand like SRB’s Virgin Racing, or any outfit.
Another suggestion: David Hunt Racing or Tony Hunt Racing, DHR or THR.
David Hunt (racer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Hunt (born May 20, 1960 in Belmont, Sutton[1]), is former British racing driver and younger brother of 1976 Formula One world champion James Hunt.
Hunt started racing at 15 and moved up to Formula Ford in 1981. He competed in the British Formula Three Championship for five seasons from 1983 to 1987 against the likes of Ayrton Senna, Martin Donnelly, Martin Brundle and Damon Hill. He raced in the International Formula 3000 championship in 1988 and in the same year tested for the Benetton Formula 1 team. He then quit racing.
At the end of 1994 he sold his network marketing business and purchased the bankrupt Lotus team to try and save it, but had no success. He continued to work on getting Lotus back into the top echelons of motor sport until 2009, when he sold the rights to the Lotus name to the Litespeed Formula 3 team. Litespeed applied to compete in the 2010 Formula One season but was refused entry.[2] However, a Lotus entry backed by the Malaysian government was later given an entry for 2010 after the selection process was re-opened following the announcement that BMW Sauber will withdraw from the sport at the conclusion of the 2009 season. The team will be called Lotus Racing.[3]
For 2011, Lotus Racing, after negotiation, changes his name to the original appellation : Team Lotus.
