Re: FGP 2014

The team introduces an all-new management line-up with a rotating team manager. Team principals for a few races have been confirmed, featuring Yu Yong Xue for the Chinese GP and sheikh al-Mansour Shalekh for the Bahraini GP, aiming to promote local talent. Also offers have been made to RjBetty, Steve and N.Jones to fill in the role of team principal for one Grand Prix - in order to share the common knowledge.

Also rotating team principal role means that there is more responsibility for that single race - you can't claim things will improve, you have to perform right now!
Chief designer of the new package is Russian Vyatcheslav Zaitsev.
Title sponsor and basically the owner of the squad is Happy Bubble Company, aiming to promote the multinational/-cultural team to new levels. New partners of the team include East Nigerian Investment Company Inc.

The team spent 47M € on the chassis, engine and driver combinations, leaving 1M to purchase an all-new computer for new CFD design program environment as well as an upgrade in driver simulator. At the right conditions team is fully prepared to share this technology with other teams.

Critics have immediately claimed this team is too much about bling, business and marketing without concentrating on the results.



From beginning it is mainly about Rally2 car. But still there is question how 2027 will looks like in general...
