A team in the World Series by Renault category in 2010 will bear the same livery as the new F1 entrant Lotus.

After Lotus' Malaysian reserve driver Fairuz Fauzy competed with MoFaz Racing in 2009, it will become the 'Lotus F1 Racing Junior Team' this year.

MoFaz will also run the same livery as the F1 outfit, according to a World Series by Renault statement.

Meanwhile, a GP2 team will also bear the distinctive colours of Renault's new formula one livery in 2010.

The French team DAMS will be a partner of Renault's driver development programme this year, running the F1 reserve drivers Ho-Pin Tung and Jerome d'Ambrosio.

DAMS confirmed in a statement that the Gravity Sport-managed pair will contest the feeder series "in cars bearing the Renault colours".

"Thus, DAMS will become the Renault F1 junior team in GP2, the formula that opens the door to the top category in motor racing," the team added.

Said the Belgian d'Ambrosio: "Driving a black and yellow car will be something very special and I'm determined to defend these colours in the way they deserve."
