WSxR: dotdotdotcomma chief smells a rat of a coincidence by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
3rd Sep 2009
Is it just me, or is the coincidence of P1's news and Lotus's news a bit too much of a coincidence?

The well-respected World Series by Renault team, which evolved from the formidable Swoony F3 squad, has moved into new premises at the Hethel Enterprise Centre - formerly the headquarters of Lotus - at the same time as Lotus, thanks to their parent company Proton, announce their intention to buy LBW out of F1.

Adam 'OK' Corral in a Lotus F1 car? Yes, please!

Roly da Vinci-Code must be rubbing his hands with glee, while any recently former Lotus owners of one's acquaintance must be kicking themselves firmly in the shins.

It probably is just me.
