MECCANO Sponsor Team Lotus

For immediately release: 8 July 1994

MECCANO is pleased to announce it has joined Team Lotus, the Formula One Grand Prix team, for the 1994 World Championship.

MECCANO's patronage of Team Lotus will be inaugurated at the occasion of this weekend's Grand Prix at Silverstone.

There is little wonder Team Lotus and MECCANO's tracks eventually crossed, as both teams share the same values and legacy.

Engineering excellence and innovation - a talent MECCANO has continually promoted among generations of children all over the world.
The passion for mechanics and automobiles which can be seen in MECCANO's exciting new ranges of metal and plastic construction sets.
Commitment to flawless quality - as valuable business partners rely on MECCANO, so do Grand Prix drivers on their racing cars!

It's true, MECCANO drivers are somewhat younger than those you will see at Silverstone, and MECCANO engines are not that high-powered, but the spirit is the same. Throughout the years MECCANO has motivated many a budding mechanical engineer's career.

In this spirit of innovation, perfection and loyal competition, MECCANO and Team Lotus - two of the UK's most highly regarded names within their respective fields - are joining their forces for a new challenge.

MECCANO's principal markets are the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, South America, Japan and South East Asia where Formula One has a strong presence and the Meccano Lotus alliance will contribute greatly to the promotion of MECCANO throughout these international markets.
