Lotus GROUP are the Road Car ans specialist engineering folks, based in the factory at Hethel, and owned, wholly, by Proton of Malaysia.
They have nothing whatsoever to do with the F1 team, apart from maybe a spot of sponsorship.
There now seems to be some dispute as to whether James' brother, David Hunt, ever owned the rights to Team Lotus, which seems odd to me, as there was no dispute over this for nearly 15 years! Team Lotus was run completely separately by Chapman, so the racing wouldn't kill the road cars, and vice versa...
Team Lotus, and Group Lotus are 2 separate entities.
Meantime, I look forward to a Lotus LMP2. Not so sure about GT2. Do they have an engine to suit???
