i wonder if this is a Toleman/Benetton deal with ownership involved, or only a title sponsorship.

It is odd the Manor name isn't being used at all.

Would you want to be racing for Virgin Manor???

Best avoid the potential embarasment of having a name that is potentially harmful and damaging to the brand name. I think that the FIA will announce the full list for 2010 on 11th of December, as thats then the WMSC offically announces everything for 2010 when everyones there for the Champions Gala in Monaco.

If you're asking me personally, i'd love to ride a Virgin.. :lol:
hmm, maybe that's why Timo signed up... he'll soon realise that he really signed up for a rookie F1 racing team! #-o

You're right tho, its similar to when British American Tobacco setup up BAR, initially everyone expected the venture to be called BAT Racing, then the Batman jokes came out..
