must've imagined it then, i can't find any reference to anything any more. funny, i'm totally sure i didn't imagine it. oh well.
it'd be an absolute no-brainer though. had completely forgotten they haven't confirmed a calendar yet! surely it'll be out before christmas? |

if you see a black and gold car on this and the Gp3 cars then you know these guys are racing for Lotus works team and that will save confusion on whoever shows the GP2 (and in Eurosport case GP3) when the car is off the track.

Yes, sensible decision to stop the ridiculous confusion Group Lotus caused by running both liveries.
I assume Caterham will adopt the green/gold livery in GP2, the same way ART & the Lotus IndyCar teams will now use (Group) Lotus' black/gold livery. |

Is it possible that D'Ambrosio will take a step back like Grosjean did and try and take the title with a Gravity endorsed team?

Interesting thought. Be nice to see him continue in single seaters though.
Mind you, a well paid tin top drive might well be better at this stage of his career. |

According to several facebook and twitter reports it looks like Nigel Melker has signed for Ocean.

Yep, he did. I'm a little suprised to see him go to Ocean, he seems to have good backing and then he signs for Oceans ...

I guess he is going for a 2 years program. Learn the characteristics of the championship the first year, then signing for a top team the second.

Camus said that life is the sum of our choices. Choose wisely and fortune smiles upon you. But choose poorly? You never know what price you'll have to pay. Let Melker decide.

But yes I agree, Ocean would seem to be a bit of a strange choice. |

Supernova GP2 has been sold to Peter Thompson's 'QI-Meritus' the Malaysian Petronas backed race team.
Will this give Petronas a junior team in GP2 |

And does this mean it's the end of David Sears' involvement in running top level racing teams, or has he got his eyes on something else?

You are right but in that sense there is maybe only one substitude for GP2 and that's RWS. Well, they have missed that boat so...
