In a joint-statement released earlier this morning, Proton, Group Lotus, 1Malaysia Racing Team and its owner Tony Fernandes announced that the legal dispute in the English Courts relating to the "LOTUS" and "TEAM LOTUS" brands had now ended with the parties agreeing settlement terms earlier this month.

I have been sitting on some news about Caterham during the past few weeks, as we waited on some of the moves to play out. And it's been fascinating to watch this minnow of the car industry become such a talking point on the global stage.
