Lotus will make a comeback into the North American open wheel scene as the No. 5 KV Racing Technology car will bare the classic Green and Yellow livery used by the famed British team in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
The Honda-powered Dallara, which will be driven by former Formula 1 driver Takuma Sato, will make its debut at the Honda Grand Prix in St-Petersburg as Lotus and Cosworth have entered into a technical and commercial partnership with the IZOD IndyCar Series team. A highly successful Formula 1 team, Lotus competed for a number of years in IndyCar racing in the 1960s, winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1965 with a Lotus Type 38 driven by Jim Clark. Entering the IZOD IndyCar Series follows the recent announcement that the strategic partnership of Lotus and Cosworth will investigate opportunities to develop high performance engines for Lotus cars.
