Oh I heard that a certain high profile and new to the series British team has a deal with one of the British FCs.[/QUOTE]

really? Manchester Utd and Carlin maybe?

Shaddix · 23 Mar 2009, 22:47 (Ref:2423146)

that would be a very nice combination

I hope to see more teams and good drivers this year

last year was excelent, too bad there are so few races

Michelin boots will be back.

On my Carlin idea each team runs two clubs cars so who get the seat next to Manchester? Maybe Arsenal!?

Shaddix · 24 Mar 2009, 18:06 (Ref:2423789)

I don't think they are allowed to suport 2 big british teams, there is a rule for that I think

duke_toaster · 24 Mar 2009, 18:10 (Ref:2423794)

Initially one team didn't run two cars.

notguilty · 24 Mar 2009, 20:26 (Ref:2423899)

ok I wondered how the teams and clubs got paired that makes sense. Come on anyone got anymore inside info on new teams or clubs?

Shaddix · 25 Mar 2009, 10:44 (Ref:2424338)

in an interview with autosport.be Dolby said he hopes to race again with Astromega (sow propably Anderlecht again), and by the looks of it, I think it just might happen

I certainly hope he gets the seat, he showed some great driving last year

Has this series established it's self as a legit series or doesnt anyone have doubts or believe this is a fad series? There was a lot of doubt leading up until the season started. Curious if its still around?

The cars are good, some of the drivers are OK and the TV production is funny. However, the series is not one for the upwardly mobile careerwise.

The SF doubters will continue for longer than the A1GP ones did.

Shaddix · 25 Mar 2009, 17:04 (Ref:2424579)

that's also what I fear

SF doesn't deserve all the badtalk they are trying so hard, much harder then other series out there

One thing i have learned from closely following A1GP is that there will always be doubters, and they will use personal biases rather than logic or factual evidence. Some F1 journalists in particular like to throw muck at anything other than their dear F1 (don't get me wrong, I love F1 too but also can appreciate other things).

So SF fans, the only thing to do is to get used to it and support this series if you enjoy it, and if there are enough of you it should turn out ok.

RichardRenes · 27 Mar 2009, 07:07 (Ref:2425886)

We shall see what the new season brings. From 2010 onwards, we may get a Dutch round at Assen (which incidently, is further away from Eindhoven than Zolder, and Zandvoort will have A1, DTM, masters of F3 and WTCC by then).

In the end, no matter what is sponsoring them etc, they will allways be fast cars with a V12

racecontrol · 30 Mar 2009, 06:53 (Ref:2428704)

The problem is that SF is a very expensive series and it is not an easy momeny to find money... I really hope that it will continue but I'm not that sure...

Shaddix · 31 Mar 2009, 11:54 (Ref:2429719)

Olympique Lyonais joins SF for 2009

notguilty · 31 Mar 2009, 15:51 (Ref:2429841)

thats great news! Whos running this car I didnt see anyone listed on the website?

Sirius Motorspo · 22 Apr 2009, 13:39 (Ref:2447007)

Danish team FC Midtjylland confirmed for 2009 with Kasper Andersen as driver.

GO WOLFES !!

Within the current climate, how much do you reckon it costs to run the season? I heard the car is very robust, not much exotic materials and so on.

My estimate with the current calendar would be about 2 mill. euros (not counting any VIP treatment) for a new team

It all depends if your driver comes with a budget or if you want to hire a pro, and if you have to hire outside technical assistance or have a crew of your own..

2 Millions Euros for only 6 racing week-ends looks a bit heavy to me , it would be even more costy than GP2

ivanalesi · 22 Apr 2009, 18:21 (Ref:2447204)

Yep, I was expecting a lot lower number. I was very surprised by some of the drivers, who seemed unable to raise budget for anything else, had no star credentials and yet were having seats last season.

eveningladies · 12 Jun 2009, 13:05 (Ref:2480998)

Wissel confirmed at FC Basel again and interstingly Giorgio Pantano and Enrico Bernoldi purported to be racing.

eveningladies · 15 Jun 2009, 09:37 (Ref:2483624)

Craig Dolby is also now confirmed at Tottenham Hotspur. Crertainly one of the stand out drivers last season in my opinion.
