Two US F1 team trailers have been put up for sale on eBay. The trailers were originally purchased from Brawn GP, and were planned to be used for the 2010 season. However, when USF1 ran into difficulties just weeks before the start of the season, which were discribed by the team as "serious economic and funding challenges", they were unable to make the grid in Bahrain.
The bid was for the standard, anyone can use engines.sticky667 wrote:I don't think they are allowing any new engine manufacturers since they missed the bid last yr. Cosworth took that title.
Pretty cool, right?Bob Brown wrote:YouTube F1?
Agree. There just isn't anything in it for those companies. F1 is international, so is Coke, Pepsi, and YouTube, already. If you're trying to reach new markets, sure...F1 is a worthwhile venue, but those three companies already have the international markets nailed down.Bob Brown wrote:Though, I really doubt You Tube or Coca Cola or Pepsi would really sponsor a F1 team.......they have enough recognition already and exposure, and espeically in this economic situation, they shouldn't need to keep spending money on advertising when they already got enough.
http://tsn.ca/auto_racing/story/?id=285343One of the three new teams granted entry into the 2010 Formula One championship says they plan to have their car ready by the end of October.
Team boss Ken Anderson tells Autosport that the design of the new car is in the advance stages and he hopes to ramp up production in the next month.
"The chassis is locked down, because we were waiting to hear if the (Cosworth) engine rev limit was 20,000rpm or 18,000rpm," said Anderson.
"The chaps will now start building the chassis in August. We will have it rolling on the ground in late September, without bodywork or stuff, and then the bodywork will get added in October."
Anderson says the current staff of 20 is about to double over the course of the next month at the team's Charlotte, North Carolina factory.
"It wasn't prudent to order $5 million of machines until we were (approved)," he said. "The thing is we need people to run machines, and there was no point having them until the machines are there."
Anderson, who co-owns the U.S.-based F1 team with Peter Windsor, says they are close to finalizing a deal to use the Aragon circuit in Spain as its European test facility.
"It is not signed or sealed though. We are evaluating there and Paul Ricard."
No word on when the team plans to hire a driver. YouTube co-founder and CEO Chad Hurley is rumored to be one of the team's primary investors.
Admit it, you would loooove it if she'd expose herself to you!ISLAMATRON wrote:Thank God, I already have to suffer her over exposure, I couldnt imagine how much attention she would get if she was given an F1 seat.
