They can't , and won't , because Stefan was the only one to decide to fight the battle , both in court , and in the public forum , buying the Toyota package .

Now , buying that package seems to show that there is indeed money , doesn't it ?
If it was cheap , it's seems someone who might not have been quite so far along with the chassis design and build , who already had an entry might have bought it .
So , perhaps it wasn't so cheap .



What I suspect here , Dave , is that some of the talk about Stefanovic not having the cake to make this roll , is coming from the possibility that the contracts that StefanGP are signing are contingent , to some degree , upon getting the entry .

I don't think Jacques has signed , but will if the entry is granted .


It will be fun to imagine the sour look on your face if he returns to the grid .
Sorry for that , Dave , but it's true .
And , I can't imagine the look at all if the car was fast out of the box .

:up:

here here!

Maybe this has been mentioned somewhere already, but if I am not mistaken and StefanGP GETS the final entry spot, Jacques Villeneuve will be racing with the number 27, no? :s mokin:

Stefan won't get the final slot. They failed the vetting procedure. They failed in their appeal. They failed to get the FIA on side. They failed to perform a shakedown or any testing. They failed to secure components for any more than one race. They failed to demonstrate financial security. They will fail to get the consent of all the other teams on the grid.

It's time to stop this fantasy. When USF1 fail to turn up in Bahrain then their slot should be forfeit and the application process reopened for 2011.

If Stefan re-apply and are the best applicant then and only then should they be granted a slot. For 2011. Not Bahrain 2010. Not Australia 2010. Not for any race this year.

Their only slim chance is to buy USF1's assets, the most valuable of which is their grid slot. But Stefan's lack of actual real money (remember folks: magic money with unicorns on the back of the bills isn't valid outside of Narnia), combined with Windsor's stubborn refusal to back down will scupper that.

It looks like the only way, how Stefan could make it onto the grid, is that if they bought USF1 and their F1 licence. A merger would be actually a sensible outcome to all parties, shame it's been made so difficult to happen.

On the BBC website Eddie Jordan claims that he thinks Stefan will be on the grid 2010.

I know its only his opinion, but I seem to remember EJ being on the money with Schumacher - Mercedes and a few other close calls.

See what you think.

Just like he was on the money with Massa's "minor bump on the head"?

There seems to be too much evidence suggesting Stefan won't be on the grid, mainly that their crates haven't turned up in Bahrain yet. And they haven't even launched a car, or signed a tyre deal. I think EJ's called this wrong.

Can't sign a tyre deal without being given a grid spot right?

Can't launch a car without tyres right?

Can't launch a car with sponsors unwilling to be displayed without looking like fools in sponsoring a car that will not be on the grid.

And all stories do indicate that they have shipped stuff to Bahrain.

I am fairly confident when the FIA announce their entry this week, all the dominos will fall into place very quickly.

It will just be a shame that it did not happen sooner allowing them to participate in testing etc. Instead they were held up by 2 teams nowhere near as ready as they are and in one case don't even have anything beyond conceptual drawings and a half built chassis

Fair Point

Here is web address were you can see financial report of company AMCO. Owner of this company is Zoran Stefanovic,
man who stated that he bought Ex-Toyota F1 team. This man don`t have money to buy 1 tire for F1 car. I am from Serbia and nobody here didn`t take this man serious becouse we in Serbia know that this man is bluffer.

This is web address of official government Business Registers Agency. All ammount that are in report are in Dinars. 1 EUR is 100 Dinars. So his company(AMCO) which bought Toyota F1 team has total asset in 2008: 310.000 dinars - that is arround 3.100 EUR
And this company had profit of 4.000 dinars in 2008(arround 50 eur).

All of you can see his financial report so you can stop talking of entering this team in F1, beocuse this man is big bluffer.
