F1 hopes for Algarve International Autodrome

They’re not a Formula 1 team yet, but they’re going all out to enter the races – and they’re coming to the Algarve International Autodrome to test their cars between 25th and 28th February.
Edition 613 (11 Feb 2010), No Comments »

We’re talking about the Serbian team Stefan Grand Prix (SGP) which – after Toyota pulled out of F1 at the end of 2009, due to financial problems – established a deal with the Japanese car firm to fill the “space” in the upcoming F1 World Championship.

On their official site, one can read that the team “turned history on its head at the first F1 test by sending a 12-metre container full of equipment to race in Bahrain, without having any guarantee of access for the 2010 season”, starting on 14th March.

“We’re proud and convinced of our capacity and ambition. We’re going to show that there are new teams that deserve to be in Formula One”.

The car the team’ll be testing in the Algarve is the «Stefan S-01» single-seater with a 2400 cc V8 engine.

The trip will also be the opportunity for SGP to announce the identity of their F1 drivers (one of which has two years F1 experience).
