Manor racing have unveiled their 2015 entry....

I for one like the new livery... its a real break from the Marussia Red.

No joke!

Well they already have the 2014 cars, as the auction was cancelled, so given that Marussia had already changed the entrant name for 2015, they might be there, but with the new name...

The outlook for the Manor GP team, formally known as Marussia, has taken a positive turn this week with Sky sources disclosing talks with an investment group are at an advanced stage.

Just to make the thread a bit more official...

Manor's hopes of returning to the Formula 1 grid have received another boost after its creditors agreed to bring the company out of administration.

So basically they are back up and running now. The other rumours from the main thread is that they are doing a crash test on the 2015 car in March.

All systems go then...

Can they swap drivers out every race? Never thought about that! Basically having a new driver for each race, unless say a driver has loads of money and can afford to buy all races?

They seem to think they are going to make the grid in Aus, and are aiming for a logistics dispatch date of the 5th of March...

Good for them if they think they can do it. It must mean they are going to have had a crash test on this years car approved by then surely?

I am so glad my pee take thread has actually come to fruition.
