Lotus to badge LMP2 programme

Lotus has confirmed that it will back Colin Kolles' team's World Endurance Championship LMP2 programme, as revealed by last week's AUTOSPORT magazine . The Kolles-run Kodewa squad will campaign two Lola B12/80s under the Lotus title, with Lotus-badged V8s from Engine Developments, which is also building the sportscar-maker's IndyCar engine. Lotus's motorsport director Claudio Berro said the partnership was an ideal way for the group to take a step up the endurance racing ladder after returning to the GT class with the Evora last year.
