F1 team owner Genii Capital has sold a 35% stake in the team to a consortium of investors that calls itself Infinity Racing. Gerard Lopez remains chairman of the team, and Genii Capital CEO Eric Lux remains on the board of directors
Infinity Racing is made up a consortium of investors from the United States, Abu Dhabi and the royal family of an unidentified oil-producing nation.
Genii Capital previously owned the entire time but has been rumored to be looking for investors since last season.
"This partnership will enable us to increase Lotus F1 Team’s competitive advantage related to KERS technology as it becomes more central to Formula 1’s push for environmentally sound racing, while also making Lotus F1 Team more marketable as a brand, opening up additional major sponsorship opportunities," said team chairman Lopez.
