Check out this time laps video of a custom paint job we did for Juls Lotus Exige.

Try this little experiment: put a pair of headphones on if you can, or just turn the volume up. Skip to the bottom of the page and watch the video, but do it with your eyes closed. Come back and read the article after that.

It’s the kind of outside-the-box thinking one might hope for with a brand launching into Formula One racing for the first time. Although the Lotus name has been around in F1 since 1958, there’s an important distinction: Team Lotus and Lotus weren’t exactly the same group.

The name disappeared from the sport between 1994 and 2010 when it came back under license to Tony Fernandes, an entrepreneur best known for turning once-failing Air Asia into a successful publicly listed company. For the upcoming year, Lotus will run under their own name, while Fernandes’ team will re-emerge as the Caterham F1 Team.

The Caterham CT01 car made the news last week after its photos leaked a day early onto the internet. We don’t have much information on the Lotus car yet, but we do know that 2007 Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen will be at the wheel.

This past weekend we went up to Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA for another Lotus Cup race.  Here are some pictures from the weekend.  Video soon to come!

The next Lotus Cup Race at the Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, CA, is just around the corner.  We thought we would give you a sneak peak at the new shirts we will be giving away at the race!  Keep your eye’s peeled for this one.

We will have a limited quantity to give away.   If you REALLY want one, you can purchase it from us directly after race day for $25.  Just shoot us an email at info@mulhollandmotorsports.com

See you in Sonoma September 10th and 11th!

We know Memorial Day was back in May but we finally found the time to post up the pictures from our visit to the Auto Club Speedway.  Enjoy!

Have you seen these bad boys yet?  They’re our “new” postcards.  We just sent them out last week.  If you did get them, bring them by the shop or carwash and get 10% off anything!  …or just bring them by to throw at Julio… at least we know they’re going to good use!

Oh, and if you didn’t get them in the mail, shoot us over you’re address at info@mulhollandmotorsports.com.
