They can use my Prodrive Impreza as their test car

Prodrive, under the Aston Martin name.
Now that would be good.

I'd find that weird....Aston should be sports car racing not F1, same with Jaguar I could never get use to it.

Seconded

[prearpaccew]

If they enter, any possible guesses on drivers for those 3 new teams? The good thing about more cars is more opportunites for new drivers to enter than it is with a plain 20 cars.

I for one hope that all 6 seats will have gone to deserving drivers, Anthony Davidson i hope being one of them

They should throw in the Gulf livery while they're at it!

Nah. British Racing Green. Although Gulf would be nice.
But as already said, would be strange to get used to Aston, being in F1, just like Jaguar.

I've thought much the same, although Aston at least do have a history of being in Grand Prix racing, unlike Jaguar whose effort was little more than a Ford marketing ploy.

[Taunteefrurge]

... and it looks like they aren't the only ones.

the last bit in the AUTOSPORT article speaks volumes...

"AUTOSPORT understands that Lola is one of eight new teams that have entered into discussions with Cosworth for a supply of V8 engines for 2010, and that it could face competition for the available grid slots from a number of other prospective teams, including the USF1 project."

Which failed big time (in my view)

[gechaheritt]

Bring it on. I'd love to see F1 grid numbers like the 60's and 70's, loaded with smaller teams and far more independents going up against the manufacturers.

[interbaoui]

I don't know in which team, but I think Davidson could have a really good chance to make a comeback indeed if all those new teams become actual reality. Who knows, maybe someone finally snaps up di Resta too. Klien, Pantano and other semi-experienced drivers without a race seat could become a real asset for a new team - they surely would want at least one more or less experienced F1 driver alongside a total rookie. This could also give a lifeline to the likes of Barrichello, Fisichella, etc, if they get booted out from their current teams.

[Frodogzzz]

Imagine 30+ F1 grids

I'm getting all tingly inside

[Taunteefrurge]

I may be just speculating, but with the powertrain prices being capped at £5.8m (€/$6.5m), the Cosworth deal is what may not only drive a lot of these new teams, but also may also be an incentive to bring other engine builders into F1.

One I already know whom has past experience, and another that has made quite an impression with their products as of late. I am sure ArrowsFA1 knows whom I am referring to... but for all others, they are known as,...

Engine Developments, Ltd (Judd)
and
Advanced Engineering Research (AER)

Remember, I am just speculating, but with all the great press as of late, who knows?...

[Teprophopay]

will I be attacked and accused of being pesimistic by saying: absolute rubbish-3 new teams next year-nice big grids-ha yeah right-Ill believe it when I see it?

[truck]

Who knows maybe Prodrive will make a rally car and try to race it with the F1 cars...

I just can't stop hoping that we'll see Audi (or an audi owned brand) in F1 (or in WRC, best in both)
