LONDON (AP) — Lotus Racing has extended the contract of chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne until 2015, amid legal challenges over the future of the Formula One team.
The reborn Lotus, led by Malaysian airline tycoon Tony Fernandes, entered F1 this season. The team has yet to score a championship point, while insisting its focus is on long-term development.
In a statement Wednesday, Gascoyne said it was “my intention to finish my career here.”
Lotus Racing is currently involved in a legal struggle over the rights to the historic Lotus motor racing brand, with Malaysian car company Proton owning rights to another branch of the business and with intentions of its own to get involved in GP2 and GP3 racing next year.
