One point is a name change

Although a final decision has not been made by the parties involved about what the new name for the series will be, sources have told Autosport-Atlas that one of the favourites that has been discussed extensively during meetings is for the series to be called GPR - short for 'Grand Prix Racing'.


More interesting is the names involved in formulating the structure behind the proposed series and their various roles.

Sources have told Autosport-Atlas that the series organisers have set up four separate committees to focus on different elements of the Championship - with a chairman having been agreed to formulate opinion and create a rule book.

It is understood that the technical rules are being framed by Williams co-owner Patrick Head and McLaren F1 CEO Martin Whitmarsh, the sporting regulations are being led by McLaren team manager Dave Ryan and the media aspects are being led by BAR marketing director Alistair Watkins.

The legal aspects of a successor to the Concorde Agreement, the document by which F1 is run, are being led by Minardi boss Paul Stoddart and a lawyer from the Williams team.

At the same time, it's believed that Bernie E is close to a settlement of some sort in his long running court case with the banks
