On the 28th January 2013 the Lotus F1™ Team became the first team to
unveil their 2013 car, at a launch event that took place at the team’s
headquarters at Enstone. The livery of the car revealed the classic
Lotus black and gold colour scheme together with more flashes of red
than the 2012 car. The main sponsors for the team are Lotus, CLEAR,
Rexona, Microsoft Dynamics, Avanade, Total, Genii Business Exchange,
Pirelli, Japan Rags and engine provider Renault. The first time the new
E21 car took to a track was at the Jerez circuit in Spain on the 5th
February 2013.
