Drivers sorted for the P2 effort

Holzer, Moro and Schultis (paydrivers)

How are they going to fit "Dress for less" into the design ?

I don't care if it's a Lola in JPS livery, or any of the other 'its not a real Lotus' comments. My Esprit is made up of bits of landrover, marina, mini even. I don't care. It's still a great car. So is this. THIS IS IT !!! I'll certainly be following this car at Le Mans this year.

In the case of your Esprit, Lotus used their knowledge, know how and experience to carefully select which bits they needed, developed them into a single vehicle, then built it.

In the case of this car & team Lotus have done NOTHING WHATSOEVER. I would have thought Lotus fans would be embarrassed or upset that the company's Motorsport efforts amount to nothing more than sponsorship.
Disagree entirely. I see a link with Oak engineering as a route in to LMP akin to their current GT2 efforts.

Unless I've missed a story, OAK are being badged by Morgan, not Lotus, who are badging Lola coupés. The way they're going, I'm not going to be surprised if I turn up at Houx Annexe in a months time and fine the ground painted black and gold.

Excellent footage - thanks.

A great looking P2 despite not being a roots Lotus. Chatted to the Evora engineers last year and was hoping they'd return - maybe next year. Good to see as always that P2 seems the over subscribed category.
