Grasser have their lead car up for sale so I don't know if they'll return but I hope they do. Bleekmolen and Procyzk have been a wonderful pairing so would love to see back to have another shot at the title.
Bai Tech have made noises about returning but not sure if it was in the Sprint or Endurance series or a combination of both. |

Looks like the sprint series is recovering well from the GT1 turnmoil. Cannot wait to see a Moscow street race. WoW!

Looks like Zanardi will come back next year:
http://www.blancpain-gt-series.com/n...ng-2014-season "Sometimes you may deserve something, but you did not get it. So all you can do is to try it again. And this a little bit the same with my story in para-cycling. It has been a great season, but I know that it is possible to improve. So next year it will be another opportunity for me to try again. I know the clock is ticking, I am 48-years-old and I can’t go on forever, but I am very excited that, in spite of my age, I am absolutely convinced that I can keep myself at the same high level both in para-cycling and in motorsport." |

Would be great to have the Brazilians back for another crack, one of the best paint schemes in racing this year.

That's great to hear, they did well this year fighting HTP and WRT especially since they are much smaller and with a lot less money. Scudd I take it the car you're referring to is this-the recently unveiled Gallardo Extenso GT3? http://sportscar365.com/industry/rei...o-extenso-gt3/ Thinking of upgrading in 2016-or maybe even the Huracan? |

My bad I misread your post the first time. Lambo owned Lambos-no Reiter involvement there of course. Best of luck with B12, I'll be there cheering you guys on |

I thought Grasser had close cooperation with Reiter.

I won't discard M - SPORT reentering then. Now I'm only worried for Mclaren and Mercedes.

So, does the Baku finale get impacted if the inaugural F1 race on their own street circuit in Azerbaijan is moved up from2016 to 2015?

Ha, didn't realise it was the 'European Grand Prix'.
Anyway, Stephane has often quoted '3 years', '3 years', '3 years', so I suspect it will happen in 2015 at least. Hopefully in following years it will continue or maybe even support the F1 race (sprint series would fit into that schedule perfectly). |

No it wouldn't as unless your name is GP2 (or the event is Australian Grand Prix), you're only gonna get one or two max 30 min races in garbage timeslots. Even if there's no one else in the support bill...

Shows you how much I watch F1, I'm still thinking of F3000 supporting the main European rounds (although I preferred when they ran their own schedule). Do V8s still support in Australia?
Did I hear right that they moved the Porsche Cup races from the Sunday too? |

No Supercup is still Sunday for their 30 minute race (or 25 I don't know/care)
V8SC is at Melbourne but only short non-championship sprints again. Couple of years ago they were at Abu Boring too and were the only support series, yet still had to suffer F1's supremacy complex and have crappy 30 minute sprints in useless times of the day, and Sunday's finale was scheduled hours and hours away from the GP start so that no one would come to see it |
