Title: Spyker enters Formula 1
Post by: Werner on September 10, 2006, 11:18:07 am: Not sure wether this is good news or bad news but it's confirmed now that Spyker enters Formula 1, they've bought Midland.

Hope they'll still stay with GT Racing and Le Mans

Nice sunday everybody

Werner

The Spykers have really made progress this year. With the added technical resources they could go for a class win. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Humph.
As in: "you bet that's wishful thinking"?

Nice to have some variety.

There is nothing on their site beyond November '06 but I guess most series haven't been announced properly for next year so this may be the reason. Pieter remains optimistic!

Post by: il Cavallino on September 13, 2006, 03:50:19 pm: I really hope they stay. One of the most beautifull cars in GT, Le Mans and the LMS. Would be a shame if we'd have to miss that from now on.
