All FOTA Teams Submit Conditional Entry for 2010
Posted by SchueyFan
Here is the FOTA Statement:
All FOTA Teams have today submitted conditional entries for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship.
FOTA confirms all its Members’ long-term commitment to be involved in the FIA Formula One World Championship and has unanimously agreed further and significant actions to substantially reduce the costs of competing in the Championship in the next three years, creating a mechanism that will preserve the technological competition and the sporting challenge and, at the same time, facilitate the entry in the F1 Championship for new Teams. These measures are in line with what has been already decided in 2009 within FOTA, achieving important saving on engines and gearboxes.
All FOTA teams have entered the 2010 championship on the basis that:
1) The Concorde Agreement is signed by all parties before 12th June 2009, after which all FOTA teams will commit to competing in Formula One until 2012. The renewal of the Concorde Agreement will provide security for the future of the sport by binding all parties in a formal relationship that will ensure stability via sound governance.
2) The basis of the 2010 regulations will be the current 2009 regulations, amended in accordance with proposals that FOTA has submitted to the FIA.
All FOTA teams’ entries for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship have been submitted today on the understanding that (a) all FOTA teams will be permitted to compete during the 2010 Formula One Season on an identical regulatory basis and (b) that they may only be accepted as a whole.
All FOTA teams now look forward with optimism to collaborating proactively and productively with the FIA, with a view to establishing a solid foundation on which the future of a healthy and successful Formula One can be built, providing lasting stability and sound governance.

A very interesting development, and a good move by FOTA, because if the conditions aren't met, F1 will lose 9 teams at once, which would be very hard to come back from. its interesting also that mclaren and brawn are part of this.

good
5 new teams confirmed entry
USF1, Campos, Lola, Prodrive and Litespeed
USf1 and Litespeed would use cosworth engines
Prodrive would use Aston Martin engines?

Apparently Epsilon Euskadi have submitted an entry, too.
I think that, if only three teams can be picked, it'll be Prodrive, because they were accepted before now, Lola, due to their history, and USF1, as they can break into the large market that is the USA.
EDIT: I know it's very unlikely, but with so many teams wanting to participate, a return to pre-qualifying would be fantastic :D it would make the sport feel much more active. Come on, Max, you know you want to!

Would be cool if prodrive get in, their factory is only down the road for me and it would be great for my placement year to be working for a f1 team!
Amen! 
Hopefully rumours about their sponsor deals are true:
Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Yep. The real British Racing Green was run only on first tests before changing it.
According to some rumours from those times they were also thinking to get rid of metallic color, because it was too heavy. In the end appearance was more important than results.

Only BRG is on a old mini cooper :D
Just looking at pictures of those Jags... I forgot how stunning they were.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL
