Lotus should have never went with F1 program. Indy program would cost them 1/5th of what they spend in F1. |

They didn't even have enough money for one programme. They were supposed to have paid Dragon $5 million by this point. |

I think they might reach 227 mph without tow. With tow 230 mph shouldn't be a problem. EDIT: that last lap from RHR was with a small tow from Carpenter |
