Reveal more please

I suppose they'll go down the route of using a Ferrari/Renault/Mercedes/BMW/Toyota engine if at all possible like Brawn etc. and build their own chassis? It does look hopeful, wit hthe new rules and regs. More competative teams can't be a bad thing, even if they're only competative at the back of the grid there will be more racing going on I should hope.

We'd have the 90's allover again.......Simtek, Pacific, Fondmetal, Andrea Moda, Forti-Corse, Lambo....I wont go on! All horrifc teams !

If you want to know the sorry tale, F1 Rejects has it - though CS's thoughts would be interesting as well.

In summary - it was a complete balls-up from start to finish

God...they did **** it up....

Reading Autosport, they are talking to Cosworth for an engine deal.
Got disaster written allover it.

If you want a real laugh, read the Andrea Moda team article. That was a complete farce as well!

mikeossy · 22 Apr 2009 at 16:30

Andrea Moda has to be the best one.....i own an F1 team quick lets blow aload of cash on a Jet!. Comical read!

Subaru had a flat 12 engine I believe.

Fortunately they found out about rallying.

Sauber I think you'll find, raced with little real success in Group C

NightSt@lk3r · 22 Apr 2009 at 19:42

They certainly have the facilities to give it a proper go this time.

No, Subaru ran a flat 12 in the Coloni car in 1990, although they didn't build it, just funded it.

GingerNinja1989 · 22 Apr 2009 at 19:52

This could be... interesting.

Shows what I know

So they will be inundated with CV's from the Honda lay-offs then could be some talent had there.

Pete19s · 22 Apr 2009 at 20:19

So there could well be 2 more teams for 2010 then if the US team are a deffo? Gives Force India some people to race I suppose, cant be all bad.
