Hmm... I see in the section "Motorsport" of that website, that Lotus is already in maaany series, so "another motorsport" could rally mean rallying...
Some interesting stage time comparisons of the Penske GT3 Cup ST vs. ex-WRC, Grp N, S2000, etc. at Rallye Wartburg (tarmac).
In The Garage: Penske Sportwagenzentrum 911 GT3 Cup ST
Especially, it says "motorsport discipline". Just another GT racing series hardly counts as another discipline. Also, they might not join a specific series (i.e. IRC or WRC), but just sell cars and support for the rally "discipline". So I think the formulation fits well. We will see on Tuesday...Quote:

The Lotus brings back memories when there were cars like Porsche 911, Renault Alpine, Lancia Stratos and Lancia 037 in international rallies.
