Oh and....
All the Chevy powered teams received a -10 spot grid penalty because Chevy changed all the engines due to a problem.

9 of the top 10 finishers were powered by Chevy.....:pop4:
 
I haven't bothered too much with the series this year [Fugly cars.....:icon_eek:] so what is a 'Lotus' engine?
Or more to the point, is there a Lotus Champcar/Indycar/IRL or whatever web site?
:isadizzy:
 
Wombat,
The Indycar Lotus is a joint venture between Judd & Jack Brabham & badged/sponsored by Lotus
....:kilroy:
 
I would expect John Judd [if he still controls the company] to get that powerplant up to speed sooner rather than later.
Of course, it would depend on how much money 'Lotus' [or izzat Proton?] are spending.
Sir Jack has long been one of the cornerstones of the Judd business for decades, but I think he would be well out of the picture these days except for his name.
I should have used Google ........:kilroy:
