Adams and his backers agreed with Team Lotus to find $500,000 to earn a pay-drive with them for two rounds of the 1994 Formula One season.[1] He retired from the Belgian round, but managed to finish 16th in the Portuguese round.[1] His backers failed to come up with the money, and Adams was replaced by Alessandro Zanardi for the Italian Grand Prix.[3]
