I hope you enjoy the irst taste of our beautiful green and yellow car, and I hope you enjoy reading this; an honest and open insight, written from the heart of the team. When I was asked to pick one word to describe Team Lotus, a million looded into my mind! But eventually I had to come back to where it all started for me – dreams. Team Lotus is about dreams, and those dreams becoming reality. I remember when I was a boy, running a hole in the carpet with my model Lotus Formula One™ car. I had dreams then, I still do, but what I hope to inspire is the belief that if you dare to dream, you can achieve great things. Colin Chapman created the last dynasty and it’s one that inspires me and all my team to do more, think more, be more every day. But now it is time for us to create our own legend.
