Default Lotus vs Lotus?

With todays announcement is anyone else confused?

I believe Group Lotus who are part of Proton have just bought into Renault and will run cars in 2011 F1 in the old black and gold Lotus livery with Renault engines.

Team Lotus have also announced they're running Renault engines with black and gold coloured cars.

who's on first?

The interesting bit, as far as I can tell, is that neither team has secured the legal rights to use the Lotus name.

2011 is going to be a great season, I just can't wait for the first race or winter testing.

In Canadian Football,for over 30 years (I believe), we had 2 teams with identical names. The only difference was a space in the name... ...so the Rough Riders would play the Roughriders...

I think we can get used to two Lotus teams....

Scuderia Toro Rosso (Italian for Team Red Bull) and Red Bull Racing.

So I guess it can be done by Lotus too.
