Sino-Korean Racing

Sino-Korean Racing was a temporary team that ran for the 2040 Formula Earth season. After the third race of the 2040 season, former title winners Aramco collapsed financially after the departure of the owners and sponsors of the team. A consortium consisting of Geely and Hyundai took over the assets of the bankrupt team and after running it as a neutral team in the fourth race, they named the project Sino-Korean Racing as a temporary name and performed very well on what was the team's only year under that guise. In 2041, the consortium renamed the team Lotus-Genesis, which will be the name the team will run from 2041 onwards.

Origins
In 2040, Aramco, which was already struggling the the loss of interest from Middle Eastern owners, lost all of their sponsors after the third race and their owner Mohammed bin Salman and all people involved abandoned the team. As a result of this, Aramco was unable to continue the season anymore and collapsed. The team ran under a neutral name and flag for the fourth race of the season.

Before the fifth race, a consortium created by Geely, co-owners of the succesful Geely Nio team and who had considered buying out Mercedes in 2034, and Hyundai, took over the team's remaninig assets and entered the season from the fifth race onwards under the temporary name Sino-Korean Racing, although they would run under a British license.

2040: A transitional stage
Debuting on the fifth race using Aramco's cars, drivers Martin Fenin and Charles Lauvergne, and all personel of the Saudi team, the team showed promise and competitive speed from the get-going. Fenin scored 99 points and a single podium and finished in a great 7th, while Lauvergne scored 2 podiums but was more inconsistent and finished 12th. Alongside the points they scored as Aramco, Sino-Korean scored 170 points and finished 4th. This would be their only year under that name, as in 2041, the team would be rebranded as Lotus-Genesis and will operate permanently under a British license.
