Recent uncovered details about the parent company of Stefan GP have revealed just why the FIA may have denied the team a grid slot for 2010. With its financial detail unveiled and dubious claims unraveled, the business looks like a fraud, rather than an F1 team owner.
but then why burning the last and only chance and call the US boys unresponsible dreamers???nacho wrote:Sounds like they've realized they aren't going to get an entry, otherwise it doesn't make any sense sending a statement like that.

This is a firm indication that the FiA will not react positive to the questionable methods of Zoran Stefanovic. They will ignore him. =D>Will Buxton wrote:StefanGP will not race in Bahrain
Officials at the track confirmed to me that StefanGP’s containers, which the team stated on February 2nd it had sent to Bahrain, have not arrived at the circuit. Of course the containers may still be at customs awaiting their signing out, but the frimly held belief that the team’s containers of spare parts for their ex-Toyota racers were already at the Bahrain International Circuit are false. They are not here.
But perhaps the firmest nail in the coffin of the team’s hopes that they would be permitted to race should one of the new teams fail to make it, was an admission from another official at the BIC that they have received word from the FIA informing them to take StefanGP’s team profile, which had been prepared by the BIC on the off chance of the team’s participation, out of the media kits for the season-opening Grand Prix. According to this official, the FIA’s reasoning for this was that StefanGP “will not be racing in Bahrain.”

Wether Stefan manages to merge with USF1 and get in their name on the grid is another question. That will mainly depend of the conditions that Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor are prepared to accept. They should keep the name and 51% of the equity for the USF1 share holders in my view.
I thought his company was involved in shady arms deals. Google him led me to this Joe Saward article:Giblet wrote:I keep hearing a lot about Stefan GP and all sorts of strange or shady things in the past of the team, or its management, but I have never been clear what that is.
not sure where to search, if anyone has a clear concise basic rundown of FACT about the hesitation surrounding them, other than country of origin and the scandals and war attributed to the country, what exactly is wrong in the eyes of the world with Stefan GP??
But it does not appear on the link (as far as I can see).illegal arms, cigarettes, food staples, identity documents and engaging in ...... Zoran Stefanovic, was arrested trying to exchange 350000 kuna at the Arizona Market. ...... Capitalists states are safe to deal with and engage in world ...
With some Adam Cooper anlysis: http://adamcooperf1.com/2010/02/28/stef ... t-for-now/28/02/2010
SGP would like to re-confirm its desire and, importantly, its ability to compete in the whole of the FIA 2010 Formula One World Championship.
It recognises that this can only happen with the consent of the FIA and the FOM, but has faith that the Formula One 'family' will make the correct decision in the end.
There will be no more press releases on this subject and we look forward to being allowed to show everyone our team in Bahrain.

Then deciding to push this year despite not having an entry.
Then scheduling a test not realizing they can't get tires, and never will (Bridgestone is the official tire supplier of F1, so I bet their contract prohibits them from selling outside of that contract, except demo tires, to prevent teams from running outside the regulations of the Concorde agreement).
Does this guy even have a clue? Now suing/yelling/apologizing/yelling/apologizing to the FIA and FOM and FOTA, sounds like a bully on the schoolyard upset because he can't play the games with the rest of the kids.
No chance to race in 2010, period. Have fun in the 2011 selection process.
