Crazy-ass speculation: Mr. You Tube goes and buys Campos, using assets to help the struggling USF1 squad. He then sells the two extra grid spots to Stefan GP.
Well, it almost makes sense. Campos and USF1 are both struggling and they each have one confirmed driver. Their combined assets might make them into one successful backmarker team. Meta Campos USF1 Team. With driver Bruno Senna and Jose Maria Lopez. Almost has a nice ring to it.

Someone put him through to Peter Windsor ASAP!! ...but seriously, when's the next Wind Tunnel on? Call and tell Dave your idea, it's actually a good plan... if there's enough time to merge the two development programs without getting further behind.

Actually, its not my idea. The always reliable 'some dude on an internet forum' posted that he heard a rumor that is what is happening. None of the major F1 sites has even speculated on that (including the rumor-mongering ones) so, I don't know how likely it really is.

Now it's Jack's turn to try to make a comeback.

I dunno... it'd be team schadenfreude. We could start a pool on how many times they prevent each other from scoring points.

Looks like Campos has been saved, with an official announcement eminent.

Also, the only official word from USF1 is from their official twitter account in which they state that they are not gone, and more news is coming soon. http://twitter.com/USF1Team/status/9286348516 Quote:

So, I'm wrapping up the recoding of the ff1 website to support the new 10 scoring positions, and in the process I added in the ability to support drops like we did in the first year.
Is anyone interested in having drops again? I disliked the way it twisted the strategy towards just picking the same big name drivers up front that first year. But now with so many drivers that look like they can win, and additional teams and 10 picks per round, I think we can probably do 1 or 2 drops and still keep the same sort of strategy we've had the last few seasons. What do you guys think? Also, is everyone interested in playing again this year? It took me a lot longer to update the site than I thought it would, but it should be open this weekend some time for registrations.

I'm definitely down. I can't decide how I feel about drops.

Yes, I want to play. I am not a fan of drops, even with the 10 points position, I don't think they're necessary with the large field.

I'm finishing up the registration code today. Hopefully by this evening, registration will be open.

The website is UP!
http://ff1.seccs.org/ Let me know if anyone has issues w/ registration, or anything else for that matter... nearly every line of the site was touched in the rewrite. I tested the hell out of it, but I'm sure there are still some minor bugs.

Wow, a 7 figure bond to show 'proof of their intentions to race next year.' Paying over a million dollars to not race?
I really hopes this means they can get their shit together to race next year.

The penalty for not making the grid may be in the 10's of millions... so they're probably saving at least $9M with their offer.
