Stefan GP, to take part in the 2010 ?

Well,on paper,Stefan GP team sounds more solid then those two,Campos and USF1.They definaly have better car and more importantly ready one.

And I personaly would like to see more cars on the grid.And choseing drivers for starting team is more strategic decision then simple desire to have some particular person.Bouth those drivers bring something to the team.So it seams that Stefanovic have clear minde and sence what he is doing trying to establish solid ground for his team.

Here is some pictures you guys can finde interesting.

This is looking as 2010 car still in toyota's colors.

And this is looking as Nakajima in car with red color (as Stefan GP said car would be painted) .

One more interesting thing about the picture is Nakajimas three fingers.That is one of serbian "thing" if you notice moust of serbian sports man would do that.

There's Senna-Prost, and then there is Chandhok-Nakajima.... :D
I would even prefer Ralf to come back instead of this....

I would like to see StefanGP at Bahrain (the more the merrier!) but this sounds like a bad joke. :down:

It will be cool if Ralf returns.

I guess Chandhok is as much a rumor at this time as Ralf is... maybe one of those 3 candidates will be the "test" driver. Or maybe they'll think out of the box again and run different drivers throughout different races. Well, IF they get to run any races at all! :p :

Right about now would be a really good time for StefanGP to release some images of their car. I am not sure why they haven't done that, since allegedly they HAVE the car. It wouldn't hurt their case to have these pictures pop up all over the place, while Campos and WTF1 are nowhere to be seen. Kinda makes me worry about maybe they aren't as far along as we would like them to be.

If they get the nod, the shouldn't hesitate signing López and snatching his sponsors. Nice to see new members from Serbia popping up. This could be a huge thing for motor sports in Central Europe, although I still have my doubts about the background of Mr. Stefanovic.

Maximilian, Ralf stated that he is impressed by Stefan GP so he is more than a rumor IMO.

if they do make it to the gird it will probably be Nakajima and Ralf, or Nakajima and Klien with Chandhock as 3rd driver IMO

excellent point. It would really put the pressure on the FIa if pictures of the car pop up. But if they bough the toyota cars then they are good to go since Toyota effectively built the 2010 car already by fall of last year

That's why I am a slight bit worried, because if they really DO have these cars all put together, it would seem natural to slap ANY kind of paint on it and leak a couple pictures to the press, just to pour fuel on the fire. I just hope the fact that they haven't done that yet isn't an indication that things are not as solid as we'd like them to be.

I would rather see Ralf in the race seat than Chandhok, but seeing that Nakajima is apparently a shoe-in, this may not happen. I can't imagine Karun would bring $6 million, and then be a mere test driver - surely no sponsor would go for that?

yep you are probably right on the chandhock thing.

Also in terms of the pictures, perhaps they do have sponsors but for some legal reasons, can't display the car unless they have a grid spot. No big business would like to see their name in the headlines only to be embarrassed by a non entry.
