Another screw up by the FIA/BE. I always thought they should have had a backup team or two instead of putting all eggs in one basket.

Do you know why DD?

Prodrive since their idea of customer cars had been abanndoned, decided it would be better to regroup and return in 2009

Its a c**k-up by the FIA in my opinion. Prodrive make it quite clear that they intended on coming in using customer cars, so why were they allowed to enter if the FIA were totally sure cc's would be permitted?

I agree.

Heh, I guess it would be cynical to say that the FIA changed thier minds on customer cars because Prodrive were going to buy McLarens.

All I'm saying is Frank Williams.

You are right. The FIA knew the score regarding how Prodrive planned to enter the sport. Once again we have seen how biased, inconsistent, feckless, clueless and useless the people are who are charged with running the sport we love.

Like I've said before, I'm sure someone like Lola or Dallara would be more than happy to build an F1 car for Pro-Drive, sure it might not be competitive right out and it's a long time since Lola and Dallara built F1 cars.
