Now, I understand that they plan on using the Lotus T128 LMP2 monocoque (which was already complying with the 2014 LMP1 specifications) and build the new T129 around it. I am really looking forward to seeing the end result Last edited by MyNameIsNigel; 17 Jan 2014 at 16:40. |

Oak racing wants to enter in lmp1 but needs of an elegible car. Could be the french team (in collaboration with Kolles) behind this T129?

Great news!
Aren't Rebellon cars also Lotus branded? |

Never been convinced by the Lotus branding proliferation (qv Toleman in F1) and last year in particular, when there were Lotus cars running in LMP2 (even if I'd much rather see them branded as Kodewas) and something with Lotus written on the side in LMP1 felt absurd - 2014 with both Kodewa and Rebellion in the same class with essentially the same livery would be ridiculous. |

Sad to say but aren't both Lotus T128 either DNF or are always the last two entries of P2? The performance is so disgracing that Adess has to spend the whole 2014 to develop something to save their reputation.

They were midfield-quick for a good bit of this season, but with far too many reliability issues and cases of driver brainfade.

If the adess/lotus T128 was powered by the nissan engine, in the hands of a more expert team I think that the car could have shown a better potential.

The AER Engine is the old AER V6 updated or is a new engine?
Anyway, Lotus improved during the season but for me this step is not logical. Before moving to LMP1 they should have one or two seasons in LMP2 with good performances. Look Strakka, they moved to LMP1 after doing well in P2 and now they have to move back because P1 was too much for them. |

Both Status GP and Lotus did well with their Judd powered Lola's in 2012. Morand Racing and Race Performance are doing well in ELMS. Oak Racing Team Total won the AsLMS Championship in a Judd powered Morgan LMP2. Yes, the Nissan engine is probably the best P2 engine overall. But the Judd engine isn't far of. |

Chris Dyson has been associated with Greaves' P2 entry--moving to Lotus for a P1 drive? Or just content to sell the motors and let Addess sort out the rest (and pay the bills--possibly.) |

The way I read the article Addess isnt involved anymore
The IndyLight engine will be inline 4, not V6? |
