Are Litespeed planning a return with the SLC?

I think we're on the same wavelength there. I had heard that was the intention.

He's a good young driver, it would be good to see him with a strong team around him.

Lets see how he manage facing a stronger car and grid. There is a big gap between winning F-BMW and F3.

If you want, you can keep an eye on how he does in the F-BMW race in Macau this weekend.

If the management team is the one I think it is, they don't bother with anyone who is not a potential World Champion.

Wasn't Nasr signed by Double R Racing?

That's what I believe, so you can work it out from there.

runshaw · 20 Nov 2009, 22:01 (Ref:2586066)

Dean Smith was testing a Mygale Mugen Honda at Silverstone today, any idea who was running it? And Formula Ford driver Alex Jones was in T-Sport's National Class car.

Vergne's contract with Carlin put a doubt to my working out. Heard Nasr was indeed signed by RRR, but he's also backed by Red Bull Junior Team, so he may end up with Trevor in the end?!

strider · 21 Nov 2009, 01:22 (Ref:2586167)

What I think you'll find is that Nasr's current team is Red Bull-sponsored, not the driver himself, which is why he's free to sign for another team.

I think you guys can keep an eye on Rupert Svedsen-Cook. He's the man who has potential to win the BF3 championship in 2010

He's been very underwhelming in FBMW. Two podium finishes in three seasons is it?

I like Rupert, and he is probably a better driver than his results suggest, but he's not going to win the F3 title next year.

ptclaus98 · 24 Nov 2009, 00:56 (Ref:2588149)

Is the National class for Brits only?

JohnMiller · 24 Nov 2009, 08:09 (Ref:2588258)

No, it's just for cars from 2005-2007, like the Dallara F307 or the SLC R1, and with a spec Mugen-Honda engine.

Why has he signed anywhere?

Dave 455 · 25 Nov 2009, 18:24 (Ref:2589133)

Carlin and T-Sport were testing at Oulton today.
Jean-Eric verne looked fast.

Jimmy Magnusson · 26 Nov 2009, 11:03 (Ref:2589591)

Autosport has an article on their site that "new" team (they're not really new, are they) Teamcraft Motorsport will run Mygale-Mercedes cars next year. Which cars did they run in A1GP again? I think they appeared in Euro 3000 this year.

kerrmanningjarv · 26 Nov 2009, 11:31 (Ref:2589607)

Team Craft ran Mexico, Pakistan and Germany. And they were in Euroseries 3000 too, yes.

Valker · 26 Nov 2009, 12:41 (Ref:2589643)

Where do their Mygales come from? New cars or ex-Ultimate?

I heard it was the ex Tandy car

So to answer my own question, it was Teamcraft!

Joe Ghanem has been testing with T-Sport recently.

strider · 27 Nov 2009, 01:55 (Ref:2589984)

James Robinson is the man behind Teamcraft and he engineered Mike Conway when he won BF3 with Double R. I've got a feeling he also engineered Neel Jani in A1GP, quite apart from spells with McLaren and Williams in F1.

Very, very experienced and I think Teamcraft will be serious players in BF3 next season.

kerrmanningjarv · 27 Nov 2009, 10:23 (Ref:2590033)

James engineered the British A1GP team in the 2nd season (and maybe the 1st, not sure) and then switched to Switzerland for the 3rd season where he helped Neel to the title - many said he was a key ingredient in the Swiss title challenge, he has so much experience. He also engineered Switzerland to runner-up in season 4 and was probably going to continue into the 5th season when it all went belly-up.

That would make sense as I think the car belonged to Mygale and would have gone back to them when JTR sadly had to pull out of BF3.

brucelok2003 · 27 Nov 2009, 14:43 (Ref:2590204)

to be frank, how many car can be on the grid in 2010?
