The Lotus 99T, now in the Yellow and Blue colours of new sponsors Camel Cigarettes, was using the computer-controlled active suspension for the first time in the hope that its advantages (keeping the car at the optimum ride height) would give them an edge over the rest of the field.
O Lotus 99T, agora coas cores amarelo e azul dos novos patrocinadores Camel Cigarettes, por primeira vez usaron o ordenador para controlar suspensión activa coa esperanza de que as súa vantaxe (mantendo o coche á altura óptima) daríalles unha vantaxe sobre o resto dos participantes.
