Re: Lotus at Le Mans - pic special
Picture 1 is a Lotus 11 , not a 7 .Also picture 10 is probably an 11 as well ( the Lotus 22 was a single seat F/Junior car.

Re: Lotus at Le Mans - pic special
Good to see Lotus getting serious about racing again,
MG got heavily in to racing, BTCC Le Mans, even looked at Indy-cars, I hope Lotus don't overeach themselves in the same way
