School’S Out – Summer Shut Down, August 2012

Lotus F1 Team would like to reassure its fans that even though the team’s factory at Enstone will shut down for two weeks from the end of this week, there will be plenty to keep them occupied during the summer break.

To this end, the team has launched the papercraft E20. Instead of the factory and around 500 people required to create the real thing, this particular E20 only requires six sheets of 180g paper, some time and patience. Download it here.

There are no resource restrictions or customer chassis preclusions the papercraft E20, which can be raced by paper people everywhere (subject to local bylaws).

The papercraft E20 does not come with an engine. The more creative methods of motorising it should be sent to [email protected]

For those who don’t want to risk paper cuts, the Lotus F1 Team website www.lotusf1team.com will continue as the mice in the press office keep the presses running over the entirety of the break.

With just over 30 days until the Belgian Grand Prix, Lotus F1 Team would like to wish everyone a well deserved rest until the second half of the season kicks off.

NB – It has also come to the team’s notice that there might be other sporting activities occurring during August. Good luck to all Olympians in the London 2012 Olympics from the 16 different nationalities represented at Enstone.
