Remember Stefan GP? The Serbian-based squad that was trying to get into Formula 1 but was not allowed to even when US F1 announced its withdrawal? The team even went on to secure parts and equipments from Toyota, a company that is no longer in Formula 1.
Well the team’s interest in Formula 1 is even greater now than ever. Not only it has submitted an application to the FIA for a participation in 2011 the team which is run by Zoran Stefanovic revealed plans to build the “Stefan Technology Park” near Belgrade, Serbia.
This technology park is expected to house the team’s headquarters and a Formula 1 circuit that will be “suitable for competition”. Stefan GP announced that an agreement has been signed between the team, AMCO Corporation and the Mayor of Stara Pazova (Stara Pazova is a town in Vojvodina, Serbia).
It has also launched its official website and you can even see a countdown timer which indicates the team’s next event which is of course the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship. Will we see a Serbian Grand Prix sometime in the future? The team is definitely ambitious and I hope that it can turn its plans into reality.
But first things first, it has to secure a Formula 1 entry. The team will now compete against Epsilon Euskadi and Durango for the 13th team slot and has said that it wishes to join the sport with 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve. It is also in talks with other drivers such as Kazuki Nakajima, Narain Karthikayan, Ralf Schumacher and rally driver Sebastien Loeb.

So now F1 is turning into something like A1GP….

serbia… even till today its an incredibly racist country…
Yes, just like you.
At first glance, I thought that was a DAP logo….
Me toooooo!!

Hope Loeb won’t leave WRC.
Sebastien again, now F1 already 2 Sebastian & last season got 3 Sebastian
that no 1 symbol looks very familiar, thought i’ve seen it somewhere..
My nomination for the most dedicated F1 team ticks this!
this team is so determined to enter f1, i do not know why the governing bodies do not accept their entry even when there is a free slot.
i’m all for more teams, makes the battles more exciting as long as it doesnt overcrowd the tracks.
Dap joining f1 ! Wow
The f1 cars in the circuit need to install rocket launchers. bazooka, chain guns, etc.
The heavy armament will go inline with their war and violent nature at Serbia.
maybe this will be the 2nd malaysian team in f1! 1malaysia for lotus…. and this one is 1DAP
Hidup DAP. i would like to see PAS F1 too
