According to what we have learned, Lotus is currently negotiating its release from its five-year engine supplying contract with the IZOD IndyCar Series and it looks like the manufacturer won't be back for 2013.
So, it would be safe to assume that Honda and Chevrolet will become the only engine suppliers for next year after what has been call a terrible show of force for Lotus all season long.
No representatives from the IndyCar Series would comment on those rumours but it is clear that Lotus has a long-term contract through 2016 and that it could carry a significant financial penalty.
It is expected that there won’t be any official announcement until those affairs are straightened out.
