Here the official Lotus countdown to Frankfurt:
Lotus Cars - Frankfurt International Motor Show 2011
they are not saying more than what we know already, "the return of Lotus to another adrenalin filled motorsport discipline."

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).

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...

Some good times, though it helps having a driver of Timo's class. A very underrated driver.

Yes, I think that in the case they join rallying, it would be in this way. Anyway, can't wait for Tuesday to see the car!

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