黑色+金色o既蓮花出年返黎啦
(如果呢幾個月無變的話 )
Lotus Racing will run its cars in a black and gold colour scheme next season, the Norfolk-based outfit has revealed in the countdown to the this weekend’s season finale in Abu Dhabi. It is an interesting development, especially as the dispute with Proton - owner of Group Lotus - over the use of the Lotus name has still to be resolved.
Lotus Racing noted that the decision 'echoes the evolution of Lotus F1 cars of the past by moving from the iconic green and yellow paint scheme of the first season to the much loved black and gold'.
Colin Chapman’s original 'Team Lotus' squad ran in the black and gold livery, as part of a sponsorship deal with Imperial Tobacco to promote its John Player Special brand during the 1970s and 1980s.
Lotus also added that it wants fan input to help design the livery for the 2011 F1 season.
“We have worked all year to make sure our fans are given unprecedented access to our team. We are all very excited about the move to a black and gold paint scheme for next season, and we want our fans to help us design the livery that will be racing around the world next year,” explained Head of Marketing Silvi Schaumloeffel.
“We will shortly be announcing exactly how the fans can take part in our design process, so keep an eye on our website -
www.lotusracing.my - for more details.
“The person who designs the livery we finally choose will be joining us at our first test next year to see the car out on track for the very first time, so for Lotus and F1 fans it is the chance of a lifetime to help us take the next step forward in our amazing story in 2011.”
“When we first unveiled our 2010 car there was unanimous praise for our decision to bring the historic green and yellow livery back to the modern F1 grid,” added Riad Asmat, Lotus Racing’s Chief Executive.
“I know the return to the track of the legendary black and gold will be met with even more universal support as it strikes such an emotional chord with fans around the world.
“Giving those fans the chance to help us bring it back to the contemporary grid is true to our core belief of putting our supporters right at the heart of Lotus Racing – we can’t wait to show the world what we come up with!”
