Not sure if i completely under stand but Lotus Racing (who may not be associated with "Lotus" at all) own the Renault F1 team.

So some business man bought the naming rights to "Team Lotus" and somehow put together an F1 team that scored no points in 2010 and now owns the Renault team. Correct? i need help.

Sorry if this a repost.
 
Sounds like Group Lotus, the car company, licensed out Team Lotus to Tony Fernandes. They have now been bought out the same group that bought the major stake in Renault's F1 program.

Basically now we'll see Lotus branded bodies with Renault engines (Lotus/Renault package) coming in last place instead of them being Lotus/Lotus packages.

Tony Fernandes is now suing to be able to use the name Team Lotus.
