Didn't they just go through a round of selecting potential teams for next year? With Dave Richardson of Prodrive (ex Honda BAR) getting the go ahead and a number of others not making the cut?

I don't see this happening unless they partner with someone who is already in the business (i.e. someone like Prodrive)

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Given how industry leading Toyota got cupchecked by the F1 learning curve, I shudder to think what would happen if the Koreans got involved.

Just spend tons of money! That will surely work right?


No... wait.... Toyota tried that and it didn't work... :lol:

So will their cars cost the team half as much as the Honda or Toyota teams? I bet the warranty kicks ass though.
