Lotus is returning to Formula 1 in 2011 in an alliance with the old Renault team. Next season Renault will just supply engines while Lotus will handle all car designs and engineering. The team unveiled the paint scheme (actual car design won't surface until shortly before the new season) and they have gone with a classic black and gold scheme that any racing historians will associate the old John Player Special grand prix cars that ran back in the 60s and 70s. Not a bad move at all. The only annoying thing are the bright red endplates of the Total sponsorship that are returning from last years Renault team. Kinda throws off the flow of the scheme, but still nice nonetheless, plus the new Pirelli tires for 2011 look great!
