Lotus' Le Mans LMP2 program just got some of their suspension pieces, steering wheels, and other components seized by a court over alleged financial issues.
Auto Hebdo reports that the seizure came from a local court and Speed stated the cause was "allegedly not having met its financial commitments to an undisclosed partner."
A flatbed trailer showed up at the LMP2 team's garage this evening, and the German-run Lotus team dismantled their cars and loaded up the seized parts.
