ProDrive are apparently very experienced.

I wouldn't be at all surprised, if by the time they come in that they could be running amongst the top teams !

Dave Richards and David Lapworth will make this team a huge success.
Lapworth finsihed in WRC nearly a year ago I think it was, and everyone knew something was cooking.

This is what it was.
I was also hoping Midland sell there spot to Jean Aleisi hoping he would bring Peugeot back into it.

Either way, ProDrive will be running ahainst Red Bull and Williams I reckon.
If I were someone like Toyota I'd be worried.


David Richards' Prodrive outfit will join the Formula One grid from 2008, world governing body the FIA have confirmed.

Prodrive were expected to join all 11 current teams in the reshaped championship from 2008 and their presence was announced in a statement this morning.

Richards, a former boss of the Benetton and BAR teams, will return to Formula One as head of Prodrive, who already run Subaru's world rally team.
As expected, all 11 existing teams, including recent newcomers Super Aguri, are included on the entry list.

The FIA's announcement brings disappointment for a number of ex-Formula One bosses looking to return to the top. Former Minardi owner Paul Stoddart, BAR co-founder Craig Pollock and Eddie Jordan were all among those to submit entries.
