OK lets name the new series

[Spoonbender]

Obviously it can't be Formula One or F1 so....?
I'll bet there will be a few new domain names being bought up as we speak.

My suggestion, Formula A World Championship, FAWC or the FA for short, no hang on, isn't that to do with football?

[Mark]

I don't think you can copyright 'Grand Prix' as it is used for many different sporting events, and as such it's a general term.

So I'd expect something like the World Grand Prix Championship, or similar.

[Garry Walker]

The FMM series - **** Max Mosley.

Moderator Note: No swearing please!

GP1

[AndyRAC]

Phormula Wan, Fformula Juan, Ef Wone, Ef Ioan......

[Giuseppe F1]

GP1

Has to be GP1 if anything

[Mark]

Yep, just depends if Bernie/Max copyrighted GP1 at the same time as GP2 was set up.

Might be!
But GP can work too!

Beat me to it. Bernie is the rights holder and will run the new series.

i was just about to suggest the same. IMO World Grand Prix Championship has a very good sound to it.

International Racing League
Champ Car World Series

The Rift - European style - Racing series

seriously, I am not holding my breath for anything close to Grand Prix and formula since I assume this area is covered pretty well with copyrigts. Also I think the manufacturers want to be as distinctive as possible and not coming close to being seen just a copy/paste.

actually I don't think so, since the title world and championship is exclusively with FIA. a "world champion(ship)" is not possible.
at least to my knowledge

[Mark]

It's a breakaway series independent from the FIA. So call it IndeCar :D

ok maybe so but i still like the name :P

World Grand Prix Series could possible work.

im also sceptical to anything with the number "1" in it simply because of possible trademark intrusion.

[F1boat]

World Series can work.

[Knock-on]

World Series can work.

Just as long as it isn't just held in America :D

[Dave B]

Formula Uno Constructors Kup.

Formula "A" Racing Trophy.

Constructors United National Trophy.

I forsee no problems whatsoever with any of the above.

[cynisca]

Grand Prix World Series.

[pino]

FOTA World GP1 :D

[Mark]

Grand Prix World Series.

The previous breakaway intended on calling their series "Grand Prix World Championship" as I recall.

[AndyL]

Judean Peoples' Front?

[ArrowsFA1]

Judean Peoples' Front?

Reg: If you want to join the People's Front of Judea, you have to really hate Max.
Brian: I do!
Reg: Oh yeah, how much?
Brian: A lot!
Reg: Right, you're in.

[Robinho]

Which makes How feasible is a breakaway series? (http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133729) sound quite funny :p

[Mark]

But no doubt used the subjunctive instead of the imperitive :mad:

[Spoonbender]

Surely FOTA is Formula One Teams Association? I would have thought that anything with Formula One in it will be copyright and if used by the new breakaway series then they would be stonned for being a blasphimer?

[Spoonbender]

Breaking News......................

Budget cap announced for the new breakaway series.

"Maxius eunt domus"?

[AndyL]

Sorry to all the people who were coming up with good names for FOTA's series; I think I ruined the thread... should have known better than to quote Life of Brian ;)

Formula Half Cut.

Since half the boardrooms of the manufacturers will cut the racing programme overnight, making every race as gripping as the 06 US GP.

Formula For Disaster?
