N.Technology submits F1 application

N.TechnologyMSC Organization Ltd, the company that owns the N.Technology racing team and the International Formula Master championship, has submitted an application to join the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship.

The entry has been requested under the N.Technology banner, the team that ran the works Alfa Romeos three consecutive European Touring Car titles from 2001-03 and, more recently, finished third in the WTCC standings in three successive seasons from 2005-07.

The organisation also created the Formula Master series, which has supported the WTCC since 2007.

The team's personnel includes Eurosport CEO Angelo Codignoni, N.Technology team founders Mauro Sipsz and Monica Bregoli, technical director Andrea Adamo and former Trident Racing managing director Alessandro Alunni Bravi.

N.Technology joins Prodrive, Lola, USF1, Team Superfund, Epsilon-Euskadi, Campos Meta 1 and Litespeed on the list of new teams to have confirmed their applications for a place in Formula 1 next year.

The team already has deals in place with potential partners should its application be successful, but no announcements will be made before the list of entrants is confirmed on June 12.

And me thinking that the entries had to be submitted by 29th May?! :confused:

They probably all submitted before the deadline, and are trying to announce it on their own days so they get maximum publicity

In this case let's guess which other enterprises will we hear about before June 12. :p :

All this makes me suspect not only that the list of teams presented on June 12 will be surprising (non-FOTA teams), but we might get some surprising names, who we have heard nothing about before. It's strange that FIA hasn't simply published the list of all applicants - why such secrecy?

Joke entry IMO....couldn't be bothered with WTCC anymore but want to do F1?!?!

You can add all the GP2, F3, F2, BTCC, WTCC, NASCAR, CART, IRL, Karting, destruction derby, local straight line speed racing names to the list!

I suppose that putting an entry on the FIA list was for free!

Count me in!

No, even better I'll submit one myself!

I believe this is Max's fait accompli.

He has and knew he had enough enteries. This gives him the safeguard to force the existing teams into his vision for F1.

They either accept his dictatorship or f**k off.

Max doesn't need Ferrari or any other team. He can ditch the series in everything but name and repopulate it with any old dross.

I expect Williams and Brawn to have a very fruitfull few years at this rate.

Brawn will not stay in a farcical championship and he'll probably take the titles with him, if they win both.
