Lotus Racing:
Engine: 10th
Gearbox: 10th
Brakes: 10th
Front Wing: 10th
Suspension: 10th
Rear Wing: 10th
Overall: 10th

Which is where we expect to land. The new Mk. 2 brakes will stay at home and get worked over for a while, so we are racing our original chassis, the glorious Lotus Type 201 lawn mower.

Sponsors:
The name Lotus and some bribing by our commercial department(a beautiful redhead with two big... master degrees) managed to negotiate some sponsorship deals.

Fixed Payment Sponsors:
Sheikh Airways(1/4 races) $450k upfront, $85k per race
Kashima(1/13 races) $300k per race
Balmina(1/12 races) $4M upfront

Sheikh Airways needs some good publicity after a sexual harassment scandal around one of their stewards and a pilot(don't ask), Kashima is japanese toy producer that got the license to sell Lotus Type 201 models together with this contract, and Balmina produces fertilizer and other garden stuff. No cornflakes though.

Race Bonus Sponsors:
Wan Chai Industries(1/8 races) $750k upfront, $450k bonus pool per race for 9th or above
Northern Harbour(1/6 races) $1.25M upfront, $880k bonus pool per race for 2nd or above
One free slot

2nd or above. Fat chance. We took Northern Harbour, who is producing comfy pullovers and winter wear, for the upfront payment and Wan Chai Industries, a chinese company that is making lots of cheap entertainment electronics, for the odd chance of us getting ninth or better. All about cash guys, all about cash.

Still, we a predicted to lose $1.22M per race, saving up close to one million per race for next years car though. That means we have some funds available to develop this years car and build some juicy parts, however, we do not have the infrastructure to make them reliable enough to race with them... HQ...

The track where everything ended in 2009 is where the new Championship starts in 2016, the Qatar GP in Doha. A quite edgy track with lots of 90 degree corners and only and short straights, acceleration and low speed downforce is key here in the desert.

On the weather side, there should be no rain in his part of the world... but hey, Brutus still shipped a ton of intermediate and wet weather tires over here just to make sure.

The jewel in the desert is ready for the show... we are not.
