Nostalgia alert...championship-winning Lotus 79
The historic Lotus name could return to Formula One next year if Norfolk-based Formula three team Litespeed gets the nod from the FIA to make the step up to the top flight of motor sport.
Litespeed has bought the rights to use the Lotus name, and has submitted an entry for the 2010 F1 world championship. If its submission is succesful, the new Team Lotus will use Cosworth engines and will be guided by former Toyota and Renault technical boss Mike Gascoyne.
Speaking on BBC Radio Norfolk, Gascoyne said: "For me to continue my F1 career under the banner of the Team Lotus name and help to bring it back to its deserving place in the world championship is a fantastic feeling and something that I am extremely proud to be doing."
...and Senna's race-winning 1987 Type 99
Former Lotus F1 driver and British GP winner Johnny Herbert will also act as a driver mentor and ambassador for the team.
The Team Lotus entry will be competing for a place on the 2010 grid with Prodrive, and American outfit USF1. The FIA will announce the names of the successful applicants on 12 June.
Lotus is the fourth most successful F1 team ever, winning 79 races and seven world championships before quitting the sport at the end of 1994. The last win for a Lotus car was the 1987 US GP, with Ayrton Senna at the wheel.
