    Who and when will be the next entry?

    With Super Aguri throwing the towel, when will we see another entry into F1?
    It took 4 years to get another entry int F! since Arrows folded during mid-season in 2002.

    When the constructors agree to special conditions which would allow customer cars. Could be next year, or year after. Who knows. Maybe the imminent demise of Torro Rosso will be the final wake-up call they need.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    At this point I'd be really happy if we can keep 20 cars in the field!
    If we can stay at that number I'm good!
    I think Bernie will do everything he can to cut the losses here!
    But, Money talks, and..........
    you know the rest :
    May the forza be with you

    Brawn: Customer cars good for F1
    http://www.itv-f1.com/news_article.aspx?id=42636
    Honda Racing boss Ross Brawn believes the teams that objected to customer cars were prioritising their own needs over what was good for the sport.

    T'Bolt, Ross is stating the obvious!
    I'm old school, and am skeptical when a sport
    breaks from fundamental traditions.
    But desperate times require desperate measures!
    I believe it time to emancipate F1
    I can't believe I just said that.
    May the forza be with you

    Customer cars were there since the start of F1, it was tradition.
    I wonder how would have Williams and Spyker reacted if they were required to build their own engines?!

    When something starts you can't have a built in tradition!
    Ioan It's great to see you back my man !
    Tell me because I'm a little vague on this.
    When was the last time an F1 body maufacturer allowed to
    distribute their finished product within the rules to other current teams?

    I cant see something worse than retirement while the show is running.
    The towel is wet already, it doesn't feel nice to use it. If not with Honda Super Aguri will go somewhere else not far, keep observing possibility for the resource while they can go to Toyota to provide car for the third team.

    Who? Probably some Arab oil squillionaire setting up a team probably purely for indulgent purposes.

    When? I'd bet on around 2010 + a few years to set the team up.

    When people over there are building entire islands and cities to host an F1 race, an Arab F1 team can only be the next step.
