New to posting on here, but seems like the right place to ask the question. Caterham Cars India, does anyone have anymore information. Seems like there is something to say on Wednesday. Is it the re branding of team lotus?

Seen here.

They have had lightweight, uncomfortable, few creature comforts, stripped out vehicles for yonks. But I suppose they have not been so aerodynamic.

Very good! I was thinking more along other lines! Could be plenty to do with Team Lotus and name changes, or good news for India they get a chance to get there hands on something hotter than a vindaloo, aka R500 etc. Either of the two has got to be good news for Caterham, I am certainly keen to here more on this.

Bloody hell! Have you seen how they drive in India! Gods will and all that!
I've been in a Tuck Tuck in Sri-Lanka, a near death experience if ever there is one!
Imagine them in an R500 yikes

As I have said in the other thread. In India I will only drive or be a passenger in a large 4x4 .
I would not drive a caterham if you paid me in India.

Yes there are, nothing quite like going around a blind bend to find three trucks across the road trying to overtake each other.
Trust me when you have to travel by road you do not know if you are going to make it back that night

yes You forgot the potholes.... Incredible India.....

To be fair they do have some new highways, but they are Highways, not quiet the Nurburging/Wales type of roads the OP perhaps has in mind.

Tie up between Gaurav Burman, a Lotus F1 investor, and Matt Cummings his co-driver in the Elephant Racing Aston Martin team.

Launch later this week.

The roads around Bangalore are very good.

How many tracks do they have though?
What would the cost of a trackday be? Perhaps I could retire there and just do as many trackdays as I likedsmile
