Lotus has released the first picture of the T128 monocoque:

As mentioned earlier, the monocoque complies with the 2014 LMP1 visibility rules.

They have to be, the clause allowing for missing the first race no longer applies, so if they miss a race they have to pay a fine for both cars.

They do have a plan to make it an LMP1 right? What about the impending LMP2 rule changes in 2015/2016?

Not into reading? gwyllion made mention of the tub being designed to 2014 LMP1 regs, it'll be a P2 car this year and a P1 in 2014 (possibly P1 and P2).

Meaning it complies doesn't automatically mean they will run it in P1. They might sell it to a third-party who will turn it in to a LMP1. From that point it's a wise decision to make it eligible in 2014.

They could just run the Lola's, right?

Lotus's intention was to run it in LMP1 next year IIRC from discussing it in this thread.

Intentions or not, Lotus unfortunatley is one of the Marques where we shouldn't expect anything, other than what we see.
Ei. if we see a Lotus LMP1 accepted into a race, and see the car finished, then i'll believe it. Otherwise, the Lotus capital is too limited to secure a LMP1 project, if things turn bad. (If Peugeot didn't have the capital, then Lotus certainly don't)

Lotus is not putting any of their money to this, just like the F1 project. Kodewa is using the name for marketability to hopefully sell cars.

Theres 2 on this year's grid. If they make a name for themselves, I think they'll be in contention with LOLA for customer cars net year.

Was this the first time the car hit the track? I hope they can be on the pace for Silverstone, and if not on the pace at least be reliable.

Sounds like it was, the mechanics spent the better part of two days putting the car together in the garage at Ricard.

Silverstone is only in 2 weeks and the rollout was only today. That is probably not enough time to be competitive with a brand new car.
