Both Lotus Praga LMP2 cars seized by the courts at Le Mans
The cars' participation in this weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans could be put to a premature end.
It has been confirmed that both Lotus Praga LMP2 cars have been seized by authorities this afternoon in Le Mans. The two Lotus T128 cars entered by the German team Kodewa run by Colin and Romulus Kolles were dismantled and hauled away from the track due to alleged financial woes.
The two Lotus entries are scheduled to be driven by Kraihamer/Charouz/Holzer in one car and Bouchut/Weeda/Rossiter in the other.
Details are still forthcoming and Motorsport.com will keep you up to date on all new developments.

Looks like the cars were given back...
Lotus Praga LMP2 Statement
Lotus Praga LMP2/Kodewa have instructed their lawyers to file a criminal complaint against Stéphane Chosse, Adess AG and SCE Solutions on Monday, 17th June 2013.
Stéphane Chosse is in debt and owes Kodewa a seven-figure amount. Chosse presented fictitious and not justified invoices to the court in France. He insisted that Kodewa is in debt. This is not true.
On Tuesday evening (18th June), a bailiff seized parts of the Lotus Praga T128 LMP2 cars.
The court in Le Mans decided this afternoon (19th June) to give the seized parts back to the team as the allegations were reasonless.
Kodewa will take further action against Stéphane Chosse, Adess AG and SCE Solutions.
