It's great to see another iconic performance brand hit the track in the American Le Mans Series as Lotus makes its debut this year. Alex Job Racing will move up from the GT Challenge class to return to full GT competition with a factory-backed Lotus Evora GTE.

Hopefully AJR will retain the classic Lotus black and gold livery even with its sponsorship from Battery Tender. Despite the color scheme having originated with a tobacco brand on the Lotus F1 cars of the 1970s, the combination just looks cooler than almost anything else on the track, especially on a GT machine like the Evora. Unfortunately, even the black and gold can't rescue the looks of a modern F1 car.

Hopefully, the Evora will have more success on the track the Jaguar XKRs have had for the past two years.
