Despite the single-seaters would remain green-and-yellow next season, Team Lotus shows the paint scheme that it would have based its 2011 design.

After announcing its intention to run in black and gold next year, the Hingham-based team launched a fans' competition in November to design its car's colouring.


But, with rivals Renault revealing its own black-and-gold car for new title sponsor Group Lotus, the outfit's plans changed and it decided to stick with the green-and-yellow colours that it used this season.

Raphael Campos is the winner of the competition. And due to the quality of the offerings from fans, Team Lotus pressed ahead with the competition plans anyway and it has announced that it will paint up a 2011 show car in the livery.
