Editorial Note: In order to avoid confusion, BE IMAGINATIVEE

Teams is going to use the Chassis-Engine name system. This
means that each team is represented by firstly the teams name
and then the engine supplier. Example is Vodafone McLaren
Mercedes which is represented with McLaren-Mercedes. This
means that Lotus Renault GP is represented with Renault and
Team Lotus is represented with Lotus-Renault. This is the official
policy of BE IMAGINATIVEE Teams and the BE IMAGINATIVEE Dev
Team.
