GPMA-affiliated teams submit entry forms for 2008

The GPMA has made a statement today about the deadline to sign up for the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship by the end of the month. The FIA made a decision about the deadline last week, on Wednesday, on the World Motor Sport Council in Paris.

"The five teams united through the Grand Prix Manufacturers Association (BMW Sauber, Honda Racing F1, McLaren Mercedes, Renault F1, Toyota F1) have submitted their entry forms for the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship. The teams look forward to the FIA's acceptances, and to beginning discussions with the FIA in order to finalise the regulations for 2008. The GPMA members are united and remain committed to improve the sport for the benefit of all stakeholders. Significant progress has been made in the negotiations between the GPMA and the commercial rights holder, and discussions are ongoing."
