Team Lotus

Team Lotus was a team that competed in the Red Bull Racing World Championship. The team made its debut in the F1WC Season 11 with the onset of GP-2011 regulations, which also saw HRT and Virgin join the championship. With an ex-series champion and two capable race winners, and the same engine both Lotus Renault and Red Bull team were running, expectations were high, and while it took the team to get up to speed, by season's end the team was the only challenger to the dominant Lotus Renault team.

However with the team focussing hard on WC#11 and not beyond the team struggled to recover over the following seasons, never quite able to regain their pace of their debut season. Steve Beare took the teams last win at Spa in WC#12, following that race there were only four occasions when the team stood on the podium in over three seasons of competition. The team struggled on all fronts in WC#14, but in WC#15 with two new drivers who had previously competed in the WC, they rebounded slightly, but only scoring 30 points in their final season.

Following the end of WC#15, Caterham took the team over and continued running the team into the GP-2012 era of the F1WC. The Lotus name continued to be run in the F1WC as the brand took over the Renault team following WC#15, while in the GP2 era of the championship, that team was renamed into Team Lotus.
