It looks like the Rebellions will be wearing the famous black and gold aswell!! Those Lolas will look stunning in those colours I reckon.

Indeed, so a Lotus that's not a Lotus will also be a Lotus that's really not a Lotus either. I think.

Shame really, as the Rebellion livery is one of the very nice contemporay colour schemes.

Rebellion will become the official Lotus entry and Kolles a customer programme where the Lotus name will draw the punters/drivers in... (Remember what LOTUS stands for Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious)

shame loved the red white gold livery and I don't like the black and gold...

Well they could stay with red white and gold and retain the Lotus livery link. I always preferred the Gold Leaf livery to the JPS.

Yep, another one that is totally anachronistic! My Fords (and Lotus) have been paragons of reliability. In fact I have never driven anything I would describe as unreliable. Maybe I am just a good driver!

Well you did ask.

I think the Evora GT2 cars lived up to the acronym perfectly. I felt genuinely sorry for the mechanics last year.

Hi Ahonen. I reckon for a brand new car, their reliability wasn't actually that bad. The amateurs bent them quite a bit but their main problem was they were just way to slow so they couldn't compete. Luxury Racing had more of a shocker in my opinion, given the cars and drivers they had they seemed to have no end of trouble keeping them running. Might be just a different way of recollecting things and I know that you know a thing or two about working hard in a race team!

I know from the team manager who is a good friend that they worked their socks off - the Road Atlanta stewards said they had bever seen anything like. Bear in mind that Jetalliance is a small team trying to run two unreliable cars - despite the promises from Lotus that the cars would be fully tested and therefore "fast and reliable" they kept going - what Lotus sold the programme as was obviously not true

I still prefer the original Rebellion livery. The black and gold is swiftly becoming 'rent-a-livery', especially now the Evora will wear it as well.

Ironically the original Rebellion livery would've made a pretty good match with the older Gold Leaf Lotus cars:
