Gascoyne: T128 the basis for future cars

Team Lotus's new Renault-powered T128 challenger has been designed to form the development platform for the squad's future cars, according to its chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne. While the team's first car - the T127 - was a conservative design that allowed Lotus to build up the squad's internal infrastructure through 2010, the new machine has been created from scratch with a far more aggressive approach that Lotus hopes will allow it to develop forward beyond the next season. "With last year's car and especially the first half of the season it was just an exercise in survival, whereas from the middle of last year it was about building the team up - that's when we started working on this car," explained Gascoyne in the company's Team Lotus Notes online magazine this morning
